Organisations have recently sought to improve their cybersecurity capabilities, especially in terms of human resources, in order to counter a variety of threats. Data leaks and cyberattacks are now major problems for all organisations. In order to secure their assets, organisations have resorted to security experts who can implement established industry standards. The demand for security analysts has increased as a result of this situation.
