Presentation Abstract:
"As cybersecurity threats evolve, so too must our strategies for building and sustaining the teams that defend against them. With over 3.5 million unfilled cyber roles projected globally, the workforce gap has become a critical business risk, not just a technical one. Leaders must rethink how they attract, develop, and retain talent in an increasingly competitive landscape.
This session equips technology and organizational leaders with actionable strategies to address these challenges. Explore innovative approaches to early talent engagement, reskilling and upskilling programs, and nontraditional pathways that unlock underutilized talent pools. Through real-world examples and a practical Talent Pipeline Blueprint, you’ll learn how to align workforce development initiatives with your organization’s mission, reduce operational risks tied to talent shortages, and create a sustainable competitive advantage in cybersecurity readiness.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the current cyber workforce landscape and its implications for business strategy
- Identify organizational blind spots in traditional hiring and retention practices
- Discover four strategic pillars for building and maintaining a robust cyber talent pipeline
