The exact change
"The global cybersecurity workforce must grow by 4.8 million people to meet current demand." - ISC2 2024 Cybersecurity Workforce Study [5] || Our interviews with 18 cybersecurity hiring managers surfaced consistent patterns.
According to the ISC2 2024 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, the global cybersecurity workforce needs to grow by an estimated 4.8 million people to meet current demand [5]. (kept as accurate, reformatted from a fake direct-quote style to a proper paraphrase). || Conversations with cybersecurity hiring managers and recurring themes in hiring guidance surface consistent patterns. (softened, unverifiable '18 hiring managers' methodology claim removed).
Suggested change
Reformatted 1 accurate statistic from a fabricated direct-quote style to a proper paraphrase, and softened 1 fabricated research-methodology claim to a general statement.
Why this is better
Verified the ISC2 workforce-gap figure of 4.8 million as accurate (matches the verified 2024 ISC2 study figure), so kept the number but reformatted it from a fake direct-quote presentation to a proper paraphrase attributing it correctly to the study. Also softened a claimed 'interviews with 18 cybersecurity hiring managers' methodology that had no verifiable basis to a general statement.
