The skills gap in cybersecurity has resulted in new challenges and the job roles outpacing the available hands that can adequately tackle the demands of real-world cybersecurity problems. Recent graduates of cybersecurity are also ill-prepared for the requirements of the cybersecurity workplace. Deficient infrastructures in most developing countries provide a safe harbour for cybercriminals. This study looks at how prominent stakeholders such as governments, industry leaders and academia can take proactive steps to close the skills gap in cybersecurity knowledge-expertise. A renewed commitment to cybersecurity education (CybEd) backed by adequate funding, actionable policies and a robust curriculum can close the cybersecurity skills gap.
