In the Middle East, Turkiye and Africa (META) region 43% of all respondents admit making such mistakes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a recent Kaspersky&nbsp;study&nbsp;over the past two years, organizations have suffered at least one cyber incident due to a lack of qualified cybersecurity staff. While sourcing more qualified cybersecurity staff might be one of the solutions to tackle this problem, businesses worldwide are facing a lack of information security (InfoSec) professionals. According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/media.isc2.org\/-\/media\/Project\/ISC2\/Main\/Media\/documents\/research\/ISC2_Cybersecurity_Workforce_Study_2023.pdf?rev=28b46de71ce24e6ab7705f6e3da8637e\">current estimates<\/a>, the cyber-workforce shortfall totals nearly 4 million.&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general cybersecurity skills gap is accompanied by the fact that many new starters in the industry must cope with the gaps in practical and theoretical knowledge, resulting in initial struggles and making errors in their job. Some of the most common mistakes made by InfoSec professionals in the META region early in their careers turned out to be&nbsp;using weak or guessable passwords (52%), the lack of identity protection implemented (48%),&nbsp;the use of outdated security measures (35%). Neglecting to perform backups of important data (34%) was also a common mistake cybersecurity experts made at the beginning of their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As cybersecurity professionals acknowledge they might not have had the required skillset and hands-on experience when entering the field, some point at additional difficulties with jump-starting their careers. Despite the cyber industry continuously reporting a workforce gap, 34% of respondents claim to have had three or more failed interviews before being selected for an InfoSec role. In the META region the process is smoother with just 21% saying they needed to undergo interviews more than once or twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>It\u2019s no secret that formal training programs often struggle to keep up with industry developments, and that is especially true for the cybersecurity field<\/em>,\u201d comments Marina Alekseeva, Chief Human Resources Officer at Kaspersky. \u201c<em>The fact that many employees in the market might have limited practical skills or gaps in their knowledge underlines the importance of a comprehensive onboarding process with a focus on peer learning and means companies must pay more attention to the upskilling of their employees. For Kaspersky, employees are the most valuable asset, so we have been investing continuously in the education of the company\u2019s corporate staff,&nbsp;<\/em><em>enhancing employees&#8217; capabilities and fostering a culture of learning and continuous development. We\u2019ve also been contributing to bridging the existing cybersecurity talent gap by providing industry-leading individual and corporate training courses for IT professionals<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initial challenges cybersecurity experts face when they join the industry may explain why nearly half of InfoSec professionals (46%) globally and one in three (32%) in the META region say that it took them more than a year to feel comfortable in their first cybersecurity roles. While 31% of respondents managed to get to grips with their job within one or two years, 9% of respondents said the process took them two to three years and 6% &#8211; more than three years. In the META the respective figures are 21%, 7% and 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full report and more insights on the educational background of cybersecurity experts and the initial struggles they faced in their careers are available via this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/blog\/portrait-of-infosec-professional-report-2024\/\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To tackle the knowledge gap and ensure a smoother integration of cybersecurity workforce into the workflow, Kaspersky recommends a series of both preventive and reactive measures:&nbsp;<br><br>1. At an educational level, training programs should be updated and become more flexible and agile, which can be achieved through collaboration with industry players and experts.&nbsp;Kaspersky contributes to this process by running a special program for universities \u2014 the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kas.pr\/98wh\">Kaspersky Academy Alliance<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 which integrates cybersecurity expertise, offering program participants access to lectures and training sessions as well as the latest technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Those who plan to join the cybersecurity field can acquire experience in real-life cybersecurity scenario handling by completing an internship in an information security or research and development department. Another opportunity to boost practical skills is the participation in international competitions or Capture the Flag events. Follow the news on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/kaspersky\">Kaspersky\u2019s LinkedIn page<\/a>&nbsp;to be the first to find out about openings in the company\u2019s internship program and updates regarding the global competition for students&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kas.pr\/6zdq\">Secur\u2019IT Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Businesses can invest in upskilling programs for their corporate staff, helping the latter get new knowledge and skills, and remain competitive. Kaspersky provides a wide range of dedicated training programs for information security professionals, offering both professional education for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kas.pr\/16hw\">individuals<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kas.pr\/e5su\">corporate training<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/D03725D5-0B14-4013-91DC-0A1F36CBEEAC#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;The research was conducted with 1,012 InfoSec professionals in 29 countries: USA, DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), UK, France, Italy, Spain, Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg), Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, India, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 March 2024 With human error causing nearly\u00a0two-thirds\u00a0of all cyber incidents in the past two years, more than 50% of acting cybersecurity professionals admit they made mistakes early in their career due to a lack of theoretical or practical knowledge, a new global study commissioned by Kaspersky\u00a0has found[1].\u00a0The percentage of respondents acknowledging such mistakes increases [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":13822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_pr_autopilot_social_copy":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":439,"_extra_hide_author_box":"","_extra_featured_post":"","_partner_post_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[439],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cybersecurity mistakes - Experts admit early career gaps | Saudi Shopper<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cybersecurity mistakes: study finds over half of professionals made early errors due to limited theoretical or practical knowledge.
