Many computer security jobs are still available in UK
An IT skills shortage has been blamed for two-thirds of the top computer security jobs available in the UK remaining unfilled.
Of the 14 chief security officer positions that have become vacant in the UK over the past four months, only about one-third had been taken up, according to chairman of the Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) Paul Dorey.
The IISP – the IT security industry members’ association – runs a scheme checking skills among security professionals in the private sector and from April will also take over responsibility for accrediting expertise among security specialists and contractors working in Whitehall.
Dorey said the difficulty in filling the 14 posts in both the public and private sector is due to the size of the talent pool.
“The reason it is taking so long to fill those 14 jobs is that the employers are all fishing for the same people,” Dorey told silicon.com.
“The genuine issue is that there is a shortage of appropriate security professionals and we need more processes to provide proper accreditation in the field to give them the training and monitoring they need.
