And that ’ s a great thing , because women are great in cybersecurity roles . I recently read Yuval Noah Hariri ’ s fascinating study of humankind ’ s evolution , Sapiens . This might seem like a tangent but bear with me ; the book explores how our male ancestors honed their long-distance vision for hunting with spears , whereas females ’ sight was more geared towards foraging . This has resulted in women developing a greater attention to detail and a more analytical brain , making them perfectly geared towards cybersecurity roles .
What recession ? So a recession ? Far from it . Across the sector , adoption of a secure , data-first culture is fuelling faster hiring in greater volumes than ever before , as clients aim to outrun their competitors and keep up with demand from consumers . Instead of pulling back on spending , businesses are rushing to invest in top-quality tech talent , with cybersecurity specialists , senior network engineers and network security architects some of the key roles Hamilton Barnes is recruiting for .
As things stand , businesses simply can ’ t become a market leader without spending money . Now is not the time to be cautious ; any business that fails to invest in technology is going to fall behind . It remains to be seen whether there is the talent to fill the void and the awareness in the education sector to continually fuel the pipeline . But that ’ s probably a different article entirely .
