Q3 2020

EU BUSINESS NEWS / Q3 2020 13 Uncovering a Talent Shortage spiked by up to 10.5% in large companies. 2. Security Engineer – The government has invested £10m in cybersecurity solutions over the past year, with a pressing need for security engineers to implement new security products and install updates that enhance security around current IT platforms. 3. Security Awareness Manager – with businesses becoming more data driven and staff gaining increasing exposure to commercially sensitive information, security awareness training is required to educate employees and provide data protection guidance to ensure compliance. 4. Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) - There is more technology in the workplace than there has ever been before, growing an organisation’s attackable surface. With this comes a realisation to the executive level that security is a key component in business continuity and operational performance - requiring an advocate to work alongside the C-suite to ensure compliance with security procedures. Ajay Hayre - Senior Consultant Technology at Robert Walters, comments: “As businesses continue to invest in cybersecurity software and adopt new platforms, there will be a heavy emphasis on Cloud skills, security engineering and site reliability engineering. “Professionals involved in security orchestration with strong SIEM skills such as Splunk will be highly valuable, as well as AWS container security and micro service security architecture. Businesses will have to make heady attempts to secure cybersecurity specialists, where possible tapping into passive candidate markets to secure the best talent.”
