Since 1967, ISACA has been providing a centralized source of information and guidance within the IT governance and control field. ISACA’s State of Cybersecurity 2021, Part 1 report contains the organization’s update on its workforce development efforts. This is the seventh year that ISACA has surveyed its membership, and the report is based on more than 3,600 respondents from 120 countries, with more than half of them saying their primary jobs are directly in the field.

In spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, overall cybersecurity spending has dropped, which seems counterintuitive but continues to be a trend that ISACA has been documenting for several years.

You can read my analysis of their report here on Avast’s blog.
