Amid increasingly dangerous cybersecurity threats, the best talent in the industry needs to be trained to respond. Visa is doing just that with a new upskilling program open to all workers, whether they work for the organization or not.
In March 2023 alone, 41.9 million data records were compromised by cyberattacks across the world, a 951% increase over two years, according to IT Governance, a global provider of cyber risk and privacy management solutions. And while the breaches increased the demand for cybersecurity talent across all industries and grew the workforce by 10% in 2022, the demand is still outpacing supply, according to data from computer security service Esentire, with 3.5 million roles still left unfilled in 2023.
