From a skills perspective , though there are many challenges for government organisations to overcome in attracting quality talent , they ’ re not unbeatable .
Focusing on prior experience isn ’ t enough to secure talent . Government officials should think more about the potential of the position and the associated skills needed to identify the right candidate . Organisations need to think hard about the position ’ s purpose and ask , ‘ What problems are we trying to solve ? What would attract someone to this job ? Why would they want to work here ?’

Though demand for cybersecurity skills is pitting government organisations against the private sector , it ’ s also a unique opportunity for teams to get creative in their retention and recruitment practices . Enhancing and developing cybersecurity expertise can help organisations make the most of existing internal talent , bolster the existing workforce and encourage retention .
