Three-quarters of IT managers saysecurity skillsare the most important
skills for their IT professionals to have, according to a survey by
technology certification body CompTIA.
CompTIA surveyed 3,500 IT heads and found that 73% identified
network security and
data-security related skills as the most important current
skills for their organisation.
However, only 57% said their IT staff were currently up to the
mark in these areas.
The survey also found that 55% of IT heads believed that
wireless-related skills, including mobile and RFID, may well
overtake security skills requirements in their organisation within
five years.
