Harvey Nash’s Post

For Tech Leaders the next major challenge is not just protecting internal systems — it is also extending heavily towards helping customers use AI safely and responsibly. As AI tools gain access to emails, files, customer data, finances, and business systems, understanding privacy, permissions, data exposure, and risk management is becoming an essential life and workplace skill — not just an IT issue. The future of cyber security will increasingly include securing how humans interact with AI and in turn how AI interacts with your systems.

Cyber is in demand… so why aren’t salaries keeping up? A recent report shows cybersecurity is one of the most in-demand skills globally - yet 77% of UK cyber professionals didn’t receive a pay rise last year. That’s more than any other tech discipline. At the same time: 🔸Nearly half are considering a move 🔸Fewer expect salary growth compared to AI, DevOps or Engineering 🔸Workloads and expectations continue to rise There’s a clear disconnect here. Organisations are relying on cyber teams more than ever, but not always rewarding or retaining them in line with that responsibility, and in a market where demand is only increasing, that becomes a real risk. Feels like a bit of a turning point. Are companies doing enough to retain cyber talent?

We've launched the Harvey Nash Tech Talent & Salary Report to the media today, with coverage already across more than ten UK tech and HR titles. Our lead finding was that after high profile attacks on some of the UK’s leading companies, 77% of cyber security professionals missed out on pay rises last year. This UK trend was also mirrored across the world – but with slightly fewer (71%) global cyber security professionals missing out on a pay rise. The report says that these findings perhaps beg the question: how hard are organisations working to keep their cyber talent?

90% of cyber breaches have one thing in common: They don’t start with a line of code. They start with a person. 🛡️ Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern - it’s a leadership responsibility, and HR sits right at the center of it. Over the next 3 days, we’re working closely with our MBA-HR (Batch 2026–27) to explore why HR is now the first line of defense in today’s digital organizations. From protecting sensitive employee data to navigating the risks of Generative AI, today’s HR leaders must be as tech-aware as they are people-focused. Day 1 Highlights: • Fundamentals of HR Cybersecurity – Understanding HR’s evolving role in data protection • Digital Risk Assessment – Identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in HR processes • Legal & Ethical Dimensions – Balancing workplace security, privacy, and compliance At Enable Careers, we go beyond theory - we prepare students for real-world challenges and responsibilities. Excited to see these future HR leaders step into the digital workplace with confidence and clarity #MBAHR #Cybersecurity #FutureOfWork #HRTech #DigitalLeadership #EnableCareers #MBA2027 #DataPrivacy #HumanResources #WorkplaceSecurity

India's cybersecurity talent crisis just got measured. The numbers are stark. The DSCI-SANS Indian Cyber Security Skilling Report 2025–26 dropped this week: → 73% of enterprises cannot find qualified cybersecurity talent → 63% say job applicants lack hands‑on practical skills → 84% of companies take one to six months to fill a single security role → 58% struggle to find professionals with cross‑domain expertise → 83% identify AI and generative AI security skills as critical (Source: Data Security Council of India × SANS Institute, May 2026) At the same time, Seqrite's India Cyber Threat Report 2026 recorded 265.52 million detections across 8 million endpoints. Trojans accounted for nearly 43% of detections — most designed to steal credentials. Indian IT firms are now the highest‑value targets on dark web marketplaces. The attackers are automated. The threats are continuous. The defenders are still being rejected for lacking proof. This gap — 73% shortage on one side, 265 million threats on the other — is not a "skills gap." It is a proof gap. Most people read about the talent crisis. A few build the proof that makes them the talent companies are desperate to hire. 👇 Comment "PROOF" — I'll send you the first task that starts building recruiter‑visible output tonight. 📡 Daily threat intel and proof drops: https://lnkd.in/gsq-9gEi 👉 Structured 45‑day hands‑on SOC training: https://lnkd.in/dzVxVfMG

Cybersecurity is not the future anymore — it is the present, and the next 5 years will define everything. By 2030, the global cybersecurity market is projected to grow from $227.59 billion to $351.92 billion, with a 9.1% CAGR. That is not just industry growth — that is global urgency. Why? Because every business is becoming a tech business. Banks, hospitals, governments, startups, e-commerce, even small local businesses — everyone is now dependent on digital infrastructure. And wherever there is data, there is risk. The numbers are impossible to ignore: • Over 514,000 cybersecurity jobs are currently open in the U.S. alone • The global workforce gap is nearly 4.8 million professionals • Information Security roles are projected among the fastest-growing careers of this decade At the same time, AI is changing both sides of the battlefield. Attackers are becoming faster. Defenders must become smarter. Cybersecurity is no longer just about firewalls and antivirus. It is now about cloud security, AI security, threat intelligence, digital trust, and business resilience. The companies that invest in cybersecurity today will lead tomorrow. The professionals who learn cybersecurity today will build tomorrow. This industry is not rising. It is exploding. And the question is no longer “Should I learn cybersecurity?” It is “Can I afford not to?” #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #CyberSecurityCareer #EthicalHacking #DigitalTransformation #CloudSecurity #AISecurity #Technology #CareerGrowth #CyberAwareness #Leadership #FutureOfWork
