I doubt there are enough infosec people which means in theory that compensation should rise which will then attract more people into the field. Until they're trained and experienced, whoever provides the best place to work (compensation and intangibles that lead to satisfaction) would get the help they need while others would be more vulnerable to attack. But from what I've seen, this isn't happening. There's lots of complaints about there not being enough workers but instead of boosting compensation and/or quality of employment, the positions simply stay open for extended periods of time.

What would be the solution to this? If I’m a leader in a company with a culture and intangibles not yet optimized for the people working in the infosec roles, how would I aproach changing the environment for the better? Is it viable to cooperate with other companies to share best practices? Wouldn’t they hesitate to share? Would doing deep interviews with potential employees get me the right information? Would some hr consultancy provide this info? Arent’t they too old-fashioned for this field yet?
