<p>Hey, my first byline since disability leave is up at Dark Reading! It's about the hiring gap in cybersecurity and where it comes from. Big thanks to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Xavier" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Xavier</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@hexamander" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hexamander</span></a></span> for helping me with the research. It ended up being pretty involved, but with help from my boss, it found focus. <a href="/tags/darkreading/" rel="tag">#DarkReading</a> <a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#journalism</a> <a href="/tags/theedge/" rel="tag">#TheEdge</a> <a href="/tags/hiringgap/" rel="tag">#HiringGap</a> <a href="/tags/jobmarket/" rel="tag">#JobMarket</a> <a href="/tags/selfpromotion/" rel="tag">#SelfPromotion</a> <a href="https://www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/hiring-gap-not-talent-gap" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/hiring-gap-not-talent-gap"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.darkreading.com/cybersecur</span><span class="invisible">ity-operations/hiring-gap-not-talent-gap</span></a></p>
