World Economic Forum – Growing Cyber Talent Through Public–Private Partnerships

The main theme of the report is the development of cyber talent through public-private partnerships (PPP).

The report emphasizes that the rapid growth of cyber threats increases the demand for skilled professionals in cybersecurity. However, many organizations, especially in the Global South, face challenges in attracting, training, and retaining such professionals. Public-private partnerships are seen as a promising approach to developing cybersecurity personnel, as they can facilitate targeted initiatives, improve career growth opportunities, and create sustainable channels for attracting talent. The report also discusses the benefits and challenges of PPPs, such as financial sustainability, access to new markets, and the development of critical infrastructure for cybersecurity training and education.
