In this session, we will have a roundtable discussion with several information security leaders & veterans to speak about career advancement in cybersecurity.
The following questions will be addressed, and more:- How would someone move into cybersecurity as an entry-level IT role?
- How would someone with experience in a particular IT discipline make the career change into cybersecurity?
- If possible, speak a bit about your own career path. How did you build your career to get where you are now?
- What traits, behaviors, and skillsets would you look for in a candidate?
- What steps should one take to position themselves to have an edge in this field?
- What are you reading/listening to/studying on that helps you stay sharp in your career?
- The annoying question we must always ask: What keeps you up at night?
