Coping with Talent Shortage
Proofpoint’s Joe Sykora said all cybersecurity providers are struggling with the talent shortage.
One of the things we did was we actually bought a partner [InteliSecure] to help with that last year because there wasn’t expertise for the solution that we rolled out,” said Sykora. “So we have a partner that makes sense and we could give partners blueprints and say, ‘Here, let us help you build the practice around it and/or let us be your hands if you need it.’ So we let them white-label our service, if you will. That’s one way we’re approaching it because if we can’t find people for what we’re paying, we know our partners aren’t going to do that. So that was one of the things and it’s worked well.”
