NEW DELHI: An estimated 3.14 million experts are required to close the cybersecurity workforce gap worldwide, and in India, the skill gap has increased the risk of cyberattacks on organisations by making it more difficult to fill vital IT positions.

According to a survey by the cyber-security company Fortinet, 92% of Indian organisations experienced cyber intrusions in 2022, highlighting the critical need for cybersecurity skill training.  According to the "2023 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Study," 24% of Indian organisations had five or more breaches.

"According to the report, over 80% of respondents find it difficult to locate certified specialists to hire, which puts businesses at risk. Organizations must prioritise cybersecurity training and upskilling to bolster their security postures and remain ahead of the evolving cyber threat scenario "Vishak Raman, vice president of sales at Fortinet for India, the SAARC, and Southeast Asia, stated.

As a result, many understaffed cybersecurity teams are under pressure to keep up with the hundreds of daily threat warnings and manage several solutions to effectively safeguard the devices and data of their organisations.
The research also discovered that 84% of Indian organisations say they face increased cyber risks as a result of open IT roles brought on by the lack of cyberskills.

About 50% of the questioned organisations in India experienced breaches in the previous 12 months that required more than $1 million in remediation, an increase from 38% of organisations in the report from the previous year.

The research said, "At the same time, 69% of Indian organisations anticipate an increase in cyberattacks over the next 12 months, thus increasing the need to fill critical cyber positions to support organisations' security postures.
