​Cyber threats do not wait for anyone. When cybersecurity teams are left short staffed, organisations face heightened exposure. A vacant position can increase response times, slow compliance processes, and create vulnerabilities that adversaries are quick to exploit. Delayed hiring in this area not only increases risk but can also erode trust with stakeholders and customers.

This report examines the consequences of unfilled cybersecurity roles. It looks at how gaps in expertise affect threat detection, remediation costs and overall risk posture. It also considers what steps companies can take to secure the right people at the right time, ensuring that their defences are both strong and sustainable.
