Why cloud security skills are more in demand than ever

The security operations center (SOC) functioning properly is critical to maintaining tight control over organizational security—yet skills and personnel gaps remain.
This SANS paper on closing security operations skills gaps highlights key findings in this area, including:
• Security staff turnover is below industry averages, notably in technology (7%) and banking/finance (3%)
• Organizations plan to use more external services, especially for penetration testing, incident response, threat intelligence, and digital forensics
• Top sources for new cybersecurity hires are internal IT staff and referrals
