Security News > 2020 > July > Hiring managers should look outside traditional tech hubs to fill cybersecurity jobs
Cybersecurity professionals are in more demand than ever and jobs in this sector are expanding beyond traditional tech hubs, according to a new report.
Larry Whiteside Jr., the president of International Consortium of Minority Cybersecurity Professionals, and Simone Petrella, CEO of cybersecurity training firm CyberVista, today released a report on the state of cybersecurity jobs.
"Cybersecurity Jobs Report: Q2" shows the resilience of jobs in this sector during a time of layoffs and pay cuts due to the pandemic.
When bringing on a new worker via a remote hiring process, Petrella recommended that hiring managers plan to spend double the amount of time normally allocated for educating a new worker on the business, its history, and culture.
The report authors also recommend hiring from within and upskilling and reskilling current employees as useful tactics to fill open positions.
