As the security industry continues to struggle with the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage, filling open vacancies is only half the battle. The other, arguably even more difficult half, is keeping hold of talented individuals. With so many organisations trying to fill their own vacant positions, headhunting and poaching is an ever-present threat. In fact, the situation has become so bad that the average retention period for a junior analyst is currently only 12-18 months.

The answer lies in building an environment that skilled workers genuinely want to be a part of; one that draws people in, offers clear lines of progression and enables them to feel like they re fully invested in a wider community.
