Citi's report highlights a critical mismatch between the global demand for cybersecurity skills and their supply, exacerbated by increasing cyber threats and digitalization. Cyberattack costs are rising, impacting firms' operations and reputations. Between 2015-2021, cyber job postings surged 4.3 times; however, the average U.S. state sees only 2.6 postings per cyber professional, with 11% of the workforce lacking extensive experience. Regulation may incentivize skills investment but can hinder business creation. Companies are advised to integrate cybersecurity into their corporate social responsibility strategies to mitigate risks.
