The cybersecurity industry faces a critical global shortage of 3.4 million workers, a deficit compounded by evolving threats, high attrition rates due to burnout, and geopolitical factors such as costly H-1B visa policies. We investigate how major tech hubs like Nama Bengaluru are rising as global capability centers (GCCs) for AI and cybersecurity, even as the region battles a pervasive mismatch between current theoretical training and critical industry demands, including Cloud Security and Data Forensics. This episode analyzes why the talent pipeline is failing, focusing on the need for transformative diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives, capacity building for trainers, and a shift away from "frozen middle" management mindsets to drive value-based innovation.
