Blues in cybersecurity
Gartner analysis reveals that nearly half of security leaders are expected to change jobs by 2025 due to excessive stress. Among them, the quarter should opt for completely different functions. The average seniority of a “CISO” (Chief information security officer) would be limited to 26 months. French companies, because of too limited budgets, can only meet half of the required international standards. A talent shortage is also to be deplored as the French digital market faces a shortage of around 15,000 people. Insufficient remuneration could explain it: remuneration would not exceed 200,000 euros in France, against around 800,000 euros in the Anglo-Saxon world for the best positions.
