The annual (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study assesses the size of the cybersecurity workforce, the demand for skilled individuals, and the shortfall in available talent. The 2022 (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study reveals that despite the number of cybersecurity professionals increasing, demand far exceeds supply and the workforce gap continues to grow. The study shows that the workforce has grown to 4.7 million, up 11% from a year ago, but the workforce gap has also increased – from 2.7 million to 3.4 million. The report provides insights for organisations on how they address hiring, corporate culture, job satisfaction, career pathways, professional development and the future of cybersecurity work.

The findings show that the need for more cybersecurity professionals is increasing and hiring is competitive. Recruiting and retaining essential cybersecurity talent is challenging as the demand for candidates far outweighs supply.  To mitigate attrition and attract essential expertise, organisations need to show a commitment so supporting employee development through certification reimbursements and professional development.
