Cybersecurity is the most in-demand skill, and firms are seeing more cyberattacks amid Covid-19 as more employees are now working from home, according to an annual survey of chief information officers around the globe by staffing provider Harvey Nash and KPMG.

In the survey, 41% of IT leaders reported their companies have experienced more cyberattacks. The move to working from home appears to have increased exposure from employees. However, “it is worth noting that this figure could be much higher if all employees were admitting to or even recognized every breach, and technology leaders were not just self-reporting,” according to the report.

Areas where cyberattacks have increased as a result of Covid-19 include spear phishing, cited by 83% of firms, and malware, cited by 62%.

With cybersecurity the most in-demand skill, it is the first time a security-related skill has topped the list of global technology skills shortages for more than a decade.

Forty-seven percent of firms said security and privacy are a top investment.

Overall, the report noted that the IT skills shortage remains close to an all-time high with demand robust, especially for traditional in-house roles. The report said only 24% of respondents are using more flexible labor as a result of the crisis.

Another finding: Eight out of 10 IT leaders are concerned about the mental health of their teams during Covid-19.

The report’s survey included more than 4,200 IT leaders around the world.
