Fortinet's 2026 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report reveals that cybersecurity hiring is stalling, with 49% of IT leaders struggling to get approval for new talent despite rising breach costs and AI-driven threats. Over half of organizations cite a lack of cybersecurity skills as a top cause of breaches, while AI use by employees introduces new risks that boards often underestimate. Although 91% use AI-powered security tools, a skills gap persists, prompting increased investment in certifications and training programs. Fortinet aims to train 1 million people this year to help close the gap and improve business resilience.
