A Leading U.S. Retailer Builds a Resilient Cybersecurity Team
Cybersecurity team

A leading U.S. retailer faced ongoing instability within its cybersecurity team and needed a long-term, scalable training solution to retain skilled talent while controlling expenses. 

Challenges 

The client faced several key challenges: 

  • High turnover within the cybersecurity team, affecting operational continuity. 
  • Costly and slow backfilling of roles due to a limited pool of qualified candidates. 
  • Difficulty finding specialized skills aligned with the organization’s tech environment and security needs. 

These gaps created vulnerabilities in a business-critical function where continuity, training, and trust are paramount. 

Our solution 

We deployed our Hire-Train-Deploy model to place talent that was technically proficient and committed to long-term growth with the client. Our approach included: 

  • Tailored curriculum based on the client’s cybersecurity tech stack and security protocols. 
  • Sourcing through our 2,000+ partner network, enabling access to high-potential candidates. 
  • Training and certification in foundational and advanced cybersecurity skills including CompTIA Network+, Cloud+, Cloud Essentials+, Linux+, and Security+. 

We delivered cybersecurity professionals prepared to grow with the organization. Five candidates were carefully selected, trained, and deployed — each equipped to address the client’s evolving cybersecurity challenges. 

Business outcomes 

Our training solution delivered significant and lasting results: 

  • High retention: Achieved an 80% retention rate over 24 months, far exceeding industry averages. 
  • Reduced hiring costs: Cut cost-to-hire by 40% through our targeted training and deployment model. 
  • Ongoing skills development: Enabled continuous growth by providing post-deployment training to help team members transition into advanced cybersecurity roles. 
  • Stronger operational continuity: Reduced pressure on internal teams and enhanced the client’s overall security posture by maintaining a stable, skilled workforce. 

Through our customizable and outcomes-driven approach, we helped the client transform its cybersecurity hiring strategy into a pipeline for long-term success.
