The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an already constrained cyber security workforce supply and increased exposure to cyber attacks. With cyber criminals exploiting the escalating uncertainty and sudden switch to work from home platforms, the need for skilled cyber security professionals is more crucial than ever.

Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cyber security jobs globally by 2021, a 350% increase over 8 year period. The 2019 (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study pointed to a severe shortage of cybersecurity professionals to the tune of 4.07 million among 11 major economies including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Singapore, Brazil, Mexico, Japan and South Korea. Of the total shortfall, Asia Pacific has the lion’s share of 2.15 million or 64%.
