ABSTRACT
For years now, different companies and governments have been sounding the alarm on the talent gap in cyber security. There are a number of factors that are causing this, from the continued advancement in technology, to the ever increase attacks on individuals, businesses, and governments and the impact of workload and expectations on those working in the industry. We will look at how these areas are trending, whether or not we are actually gaining any ground, and what can be done to fix this issue and who is in fact responsible for addressing this issue.
