Creating thought leadership content that not only haunts the minds of readers but also gives them goosebumps is no longer a mere task—it’s an art.
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), celebrated every October, provides an opportunity for cybersecurity organizations to emerge from the shadows and shine a spectral spotlight on their research and thought leadership undertakings. It’s a time when the world collectively turns its attention to the spine-chilling importance of cybersecurity, making it the perfect haunted house for unveiling the latest unearthly insights and strategies in the field.

Real-World Insights: A Call to Action
Recent research by ISACA, the global professional association for digital trust, sheds light on the critical challenges faced by the cybersecurity industry. The findings reveal that over half of cybersecurity professionals report experiencing more cyberattacks compared to the previous year. Despite this increased threat perception, only 8% of organizations conduct monthly cyber risk assessments, leaving them vulnerable to attacks and undetected breaches.
The shortage of cybersecurity talent exacerbates the problem, with 62% of respondents reporting understaffed cybersecurity teams. Alarmingly, 39% of organizations are seeking to fill entry-level cybersecurity positions that do not require prior experience or a university degree. These statistics highlight a pressing need for nurturing talent in the cybersecurity industry.
