Mo Gaibee, Associate Consultant at Harvey Nash, was recently featured in a CSO Online article exploring how AI is reshaping entry-level cyber hiring and shifting the nature of the cybersecurity skills gap.
In the piece, Mo highlights how hiring criteria are evolving; it’s no longer just about technical certifications. Organisations are increasingly valuing soft skills such as communication, collaboration, adaptability, and strategic thinking, as cybersecurity now touches many areas of a business, including legal, HR, and marketing.
He also notes that while AI is automating more of the repetitive monitoring tasks, it hasn’t reduced the need for human talent, instead, it’s changing the profile of the skills that are most in demand.
