The surge in cyberattacks has increased the need for security testing services. Fearing data breaches and system vulnerabilities, organizations are intensifying their focus on cybersecurity. For instance, in September 2023, Iranian hackers launched a cyberattack on Israel's railway system, employing a phishing campaign to compromise the electrical infrastructure. This attack also reportedly targeted companies in Brazil and the UAE, underscoring the global reach and potential impacts of such cyber threats.
The security testing market faces a significant challenge due to the shortage of skilled security professionals. The demand for robust cybersecurity measures is growing; however, enough experts are not available to conduct thorough security testing. This scarcity will hamper the timely identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities, leaving organizations exposed to potential threats. Bridging this skills gap is essential to meet the escalating demand for security testing services and fortify digital defenses effectively.
