Have you read KPMG’s recent Pulse of Fintech report?
It includes the trends of global fintech investments over the last 6 months and predicts the coming 6 months.
Here are the 4 Cyber Fintech Investment Trends for H1 2023:
👉 Innovations for visibility and controls around cloud and hyperscale providers
👉 Improving speed of response to cyber issues with less human intervention
👉 Consolidations of risk assessment-focused firms
👉 Hyperscale providers acquiring niche cyber players to expand services
In my opinion, the last two points are all about competing by increasing market share. But the first two points got me thinking:
👉 Innovations for visibility and controls around cloud and hyperscale providers
Using more tech means you can really pick and choose how you want your business to run.
But it also means your data may be getting accessed by more parties than you originally intended…
👉 Improving speed of response to cyber issues with less human intervention
Well, we’ve all had a good play around with ChatGPT (this is my favourite), and see the benefits of AI.
Increased automation and AI doesn’t mean robots will take our jobs, does it?
But it does mean that more operational tasks, including cyber issues, will be managed by computers. Especially with Security Operations Centres.
So, your business will be more productive, you will be more profitable, and then everyone will make more money.
Until the robots revolt over pay and working conditions…
With all this innovation:
How can you attract candidates?
Firstly — you need to be selling the opportunity to candidates.
Don’t just sell the job responsibilities.
With high demand in the global market, you need to be proactive when hiring.
You can also follow these 10 Steps to Hire a Security Specialist to see what you’re missing.
Areas you might be going wrong (don’t do this):
- Only posting your jobs to your careers page
- Writing requirements that are overly-specific
- Working with multiple agencies on the same vacancy
It’s an interesting time in the cyber security market, with so many opportunities for company, career, and personal growth.
Yes, we’re going into a recession, but that means people are being overly-cautious when moving companies.
Why would they join you?
Thanks for reading.
