According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cybersecurity skills shortage is now expected to hit 3.5 million positions by 2021. Security analysts are increasingly asked to work on tedious, arduous tasks that lead to burnout. Automation of IT infrastructure (DevOps) has led to many positive outcomes, such as requiring fewer people to manage more systems. This works for knowledge domains that slowly evolve and/or are hyper-focused on a specific component of a system. In security, the knowledge domain is not dictated by just “security practices” but rather the security professional must be knowledgeable about how technologies are abused.”]
