Accordingto the data of the International Information Systems Security CertificationConsortium (ISC)2,the gap of cybersecurity talents had increased from 2.7million in 2021 to 3.4 million in 2022. Qi said that strengtheninginternational exchanges,discussions,training and researches related tocybersecurity will help narrow the global digital divide.
