The Cyber Talent Disconnect: What the SANS Report Didn’t Say
Send us a text
In this episode, I unpack the 2025 SANS Report, “Attract, Hire, and Retain Cybersecurity Roles,” and challenge what it really means for the global cyber workforce. We’ll talk about certification barriers, the myth of “no entry-level roles,” and the widening gap between HR, cyber managers, and real-world professionals.
Join me as I dissect what’s working—and what’s not—in how organizations attract, hire, and retain cybersecurity talent. It’s a conversation about equity, strategy, and what it truly takes to build sustainable cyber careers.
