Constructing the Cyber-Risk Talent Cistern (NEWLY ADDED SESSION)

David Rusting

The challenges of attracting and retaining cybersecurity talent have increased over the past several years, which puts the saying "necessity is the mother of invention" to the test. This session will explore the market forces behind the talent demand, the unique challenges it presents to UC, and how UC is collectively working to address it.  We will also explore once you have the talent, how do you keep them motivated and engaged?  This will be an interactive session, with industry data, live polling, anecdotes from across UC, and a four-step process toward filling your "cyber-cistern".
