Shortage of cybersecurity professionals triggers fight for talent

Mumbai: A big fight is underway for cybersecurity professionals, with a nearly 30% demand-supply gap for cybersecurity jobs.

There are between 20,000 and 25,000 unfilled positions in cyber security profiles in India currently, and this number is expected to expand as telcos push 5G roll out, and companies continue their digital transformation journeys, staffing experts said.
