The Importance of Hiring Experienced Security Personnel
There is a need for companies to hire highly experienced security professionals who can build and manage effective security programs. These professionals should have a deep understanding of security from top to bottom and possess strong collaboration and communication skills. However, finding such individuals can be challenging due to the scarcity of talent in the industry. The education gap in security is a significant concern, with many companies struggling to fill junior positions. Compliance and governance roles can provide a good entry point into the security field, allowing individuals to work adjacent to security teams and learn from experienced professionals. Additionally, improving the recognition and value of creativity, curiosity, and collaboration within the industry is crucial for attracting and retaining talented individuals.
