Episode 9: So you think you know security? with Sarah Janes
There are currently around 4.8 million unfilled cyber security roles worldwide. With so many people looking for work, why are organisations still struggling to find the right talent?
In this episode of So You Think You Know Security?, host Charlotte Ricca and Sarah Janes, CEO of Layer 8, explore whether the cyber skills gap is really just about a shortage of people — or whether organisations need to rethink what they’re looking for.
They discuss why technical expertise is only part of the picture, the growing importance of human skills, curiosity and the ability to learn, and how traditional recruitment can overlook great candidates. They also explore why cognitive diversity matters — and what happens when we keep recruiting from the same talent pools.
Because in a rapidly changing industry, what you know today may matter less than your ability to learn tomorrow.
