ZAWYA: Fortinet report reveals cybersecurity hiring stalls as nearly half of IT leaders face corporate pushback
Fortinet's 2026 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report highlights persistent challenges, with 86% of organizations experiencing a breach in the last year, costing over $1 million for 52% of them. The report reveals that a lack of cybersecurity skills is a top cause of breaches, and IT leaders struggle to get approval to hire senior-level talent despite increased executive penalties after cyberattacks. While AI-powered tools are widely adopted and seen as beneficial, a new skills gap is emerging related to AI oversight and governance, emphasizing the need for continued investment in training and certifications.
