Cyber Capital HQ partners with SHL to deliver Cyber aptitude assessments to hire and train the right Cybersecurity talents:

49% of cyber professionals believe that qualified personnel is difficult to find. 1.8 million cyber positions will be unfulfilled by 2022. 41% of cyber professionals said that the skills shortage has increased time in high-priority issues which leads to increased workplace stress. The average cost of a data breach being 3.9MUSD for large businesses, less than half of companies globally are sufficiently prepared for a cybersecurity attack.

SHL cyber assessments allow hiring beyond technical skills. Technical skills are indeed critical but not sufficient on their own - soft skills are the differentiators. The cyber assessments identify those with latent abilities, assess the skills/ traits needed for success, many of which can be considered transferrable. As a result, before making external hires, companies can first look into training and upskilling their existing resources on Cybersecurity.

This approach presents many benefits, including making better hiring decisions, saving time and money, enhancing your employer brand, improving talent development and succession decisions, planning more successful reorganizations and restructuring, achieving stronger alignment of people.
