2016 will see continuing skills shortage of people with the right cyber-security skills. People who have direct first-hand experience in identifying cyber risks and improving defence are in high demand but low supply and this will worsen as the size of security teams increase.
With such a big shortfall, companies are starting to adopt Security as a Service (SECaaS) as a stop-gap measure. This outsources their security to another company that has more expertise and can scale more cost-effective security to all of its customers. Companies need to understand that while they can outsource responsibility they cannot outsource accountability, so they need to consider the benefits and risks involved.
