Cybersecurity Skills Shortage Panic in 2015?

From Network World:

Cybersecurity Skills Shortage Panic in 2015?

What does this mean?  Nervous financial services vendors and government integrators will bid up cybersecurity salaries to new highs.  In the meantime, security services leaders like CSC, Dell, HP, IBM, Symantec, and Unisys will aggressively cherry pick cybersecurity specialists by offering lucrative compensation packages along with intensive training for skills development.  Cybersecurity employees with years of faithful employment at small regional banks, Universities, and State governments will get offers they simply can’t refuse.  This will cause a panic at many organizations when they lose security professionals who more-or-less “owned” their informal incident detection and response processes. 

Everyone run out & get your CISSP, CEH & SANS certs.
