Security leaders are increasingly open to the idea of apprenticeships as a solution to help attract more young people into the cyber sector, according to the results of an informal Twitter poll run by the promoters of the annual Infosecurity Europe fair, currently scheduled to take place in some form in June 2021.
The poll set out to explore issues around the skills shortage in security specifically, prompted by a recent study from security association (ISC)² that revealed there were over three million unfilled roles worldwide, even as over a third of organisations enact hiring freezes thanks to the pandemic.
