The increasing demand for cybersecurity talent is ramping up to meet industry needs
The Australian cyber sector currently employs 26,500 people but increasing demand for talent means an estimated 30,000 jobs will need to be created by 2026 to meet industry needs. Globally, the cybersecurity industry projects a massive 3.5 million jobs will be unfulfilled by 2025.
Australia’s largest ASX listed cyber security company, Tesserent (ASX:TNT), is investing over $250,000 to develop cybersecurity talent from diverse backgrounds, age cohorts and genders to accelerate the future pipeline of talent in cybersecurity.
Tesserent’s CEO Kurt Hansen joined us to discuss how the free ‘100 Day Challenge’ program will help accelerate 100 participants in cybersecurity skills.
