Global Cyber Security Report 2024: Decoding the cyber landscape

What’s in the Hays 2024 Global Cyber Security Report?

The growing threat posed by cybercrime cannot be overstated. The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI) has empowered threat actors, lowered the barrier to entry for less experienced cyber criminals, and increased both the scale and sophistication of cyber attacks. The cost of falling victim can be severe.

While having strong cyber defences in place is essential, sourcing and retaining experienced cyber security talent remains a major challenge. Skills shortages, increasing competition for talent, and budgetary constraints are all making it harder for organisations to build resilient cyber teams.

In our second global cyber security report, you’ll find survey responses from over 1,000 cyber security leaders worldwide, alongside expert insight from industry specialists. The report explores the core hiring and investment challenges organisations face globally, and the practical steps leaders can take to address them in 2024 and beyond.
