As cyberthreats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, organisations are facing a widening cybersecurity skills gap that is increasing business risk and exposing critical vulnerabilities. New research from Fortinet highlights the urgent need for greater investment in cybersecurity talent, AI-related skills and workforce development to strengthen resilience against an increasingly complex threat landscape.<\/p>\n

Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has released the 2026 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report, revealing the emerging and persistent challenges organisations face as they grapple with ongoing cybersecurity skill shortages and the ever-evolving threat landscape. The global survey\u2019s key findings include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Despite gaps in investment, intentional efforts are being made to attract and retain top-tier cybersecurity talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cCybersecurity is not simply a technical issue but a strategic business risk. This year\u2019s survey suggests that while boards generally recognise the importance of cybersecurity, more investment is needed to address key issues, such as emerging AI risks and the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage. Addressing these issues is critical to business resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape,\u201d said Carl Windsor, CISO at Fortinet.<\/p>\n
