AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity. As AI technology capabilities advance so to does the need for defense capabilities for organizations. Yet, beyond the algorithms and data models, there's an urgent need for human talent. In fact, more than 4 million cybersecurity jobs are available globally. There simply aren't enough people globally to fill the open cybersecurity jobs. Earlier this month, together with the OECD, Microsoft Philanthropies launched a capstone report on cybersecurity skills. This was a final report in a series of three reports examining the urgent demand for cybersecurity skills, this time focused on France, Poland and Germany. Microsoft Philanthropies GM of Digital Inclusion and Community Engagement, Naria Santa Lucia joined a conversation to discuss the report findings with Assistant Deputy General of the OECD, Stefano Scarpetta , head of Economy and Social Protection for the OECD, Despina Spanou from the European Communication and our NGO partners ReDI School of Digital Integration and Instytut Kościuszki to help fill the talent gap. See Naria's recap of the event here, and access the full suite of OECD reports here: https://www.oecd.org/skills/building-a-skilled-cyber-security-workforce.htm. This is a part of a larger Cybersecurity Skills Initiative committment we at Microsoft Philanthropies have to closing the global cybersecurity skills gap. As a company, we continue to invest in new solutions for nonprofits such as Account Guard and general AI cybersecurity solutions such as Microsoft Copilot for Security, which will be generally available on April 1!
