The growing need for cloud security experts

As cloud adoption ramps up across the world, the demand for IT security specialists will continue to rise. In the UK alone, more than 650,000 businesses were reported to have a basic skills gap in cyber security last year.

In order to prevent costly data breaches, companies will be looking to hire qualified cloud and networking professionals. Vendors themselves will also be looking to bring on board in-house security experts as business continues to boom in the coming years. Furthermore, the urgency of the skills gap calls for highly-experienced consultants who can transform IT security as organisations move away from their legacy systems.
