In today’s digital age, cybersecurity has become an increasingly critical concern for organizations worldwide. STIGroup with Revelio Labs conducted a study on cybersecurity talent and discovered that certifications are of the utmost importance. Here’s why:
1. Certifications validate one’s skills and proficiency in cybersecurity.
2. A growing number of companies are seeking certified professionals, particularly in high-risk industries.
3. There’s not enough certified cybersecurity talent out there with only 20% having certifications.
4. Additionally, companies must invest in talent development and training to address this shortage of cybersecurity professionals.

 

The demand for cybersecurity certifications has seen a significant surge in 2023. Certifications act as indicators of an individual’s skills and aptitudes to potential employers. While individuals without certifications may possess similar abilities, but they serve as an additional layer of assurance for employers. This is particularly important for employers who are new to hiring professionals, as certifications offer a streamlined way to verify a candidate’s skills. According to data from Revelio Labs, the percentage of job postings explicitly requiring cybersecurity certifications increased by 12 points between the fall of 2022 and the spring of 2023. This spike in demand coincides with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022, and although it may be coincidental, the renewed emphasis on the quality of cybersecurity talent is noteworthy. The rise in demand for certifications underscores their significance as a validation of skills and expertise in the cybersecurity field.
