Small But Mighty: Building the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Professionals With Limited Resources
19SANS Cybersecurity Leadership Summit 2022
Speaker: Naomi Buckwalter
There are simply not enough people in the field of information security. According to the US Department of Commerce, there are over half a million unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the US. Around the world, those numbers are even greater, with an estimated 3.5 million jobs unfilled. Unfortunately, business leaders are constrained in their investment in the next generation of security professionals; security is, ultimately, a cost center. How then, with our limited budget, time, and energy, can leaders build the next generation of cybersecurity professionals? After all, the cybersecurity professionals that we hire and train today will be the grizzled veterans that we need in the future. In this talk, Naomi Buckwalter, Director of Product Security for Contrast Security, presents practical tips and industry-proven methods for finding, training, and benefiting from incredible junior-level cybersecurity professionals for your growing information security team.
