Overview
The security landscape constantly evolves, and corporations and institutions must stay ahead of the curve to navigate cybersecurity successfully. From AI-driven solutions to proactive threat detection, the future of cybersecurity is all about adaptability and innovation. Are you ready to future-proof your team in cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity workforce programs traditionally focus on education, certification, and skillset advancement. However, workforce modernization adds another layer of protection for organizations based on the need to counter hackers' talent. Organizations can ensure their workforce is equipped to handle the latest security threats by aligning labor categories, skillset requirements, and team structures.
Join this speaking session to learn how to realign your cybersecurity workforce and implement "human firewalls" through talent management systems, cyber tools, and informal training methods. The presentation will dissect several industry-related concerns and highlight solutions to transition your cyber workforce through management, technical, and operational requirements. We'll also present various frameworks and labor structures that best fit cybersecurity needs. Don't wait for an attack; be proactive and drive security from the front.
Why you should Attend
Many cyber leaders have lost their "cyber mojo". They are positioned to remediate risks and manage a disorganized and ad-hoc workforce. This also extends within the talent management system since recruiters fail to attract, capture, and identify the best talent. Various resources are available, but they do not "truth" how workforce modernization operates and where cyber leaders play a pivotal role. They state that you need to modernize and gather talent.
This sounds simple, but there are issues with talent, skillsets, and "how-to-do-my job. Some have hired consultants and referenced so much reading material and still have issues with their talent pool. We have seen the term cyber "shortage" and wonder will the shortage continue or could the talent resourcing and legacy ways of gathering talent be failing? Attending this presentation will make people better prepared to communicate the cyber vision and modernize their talent pool.
