Simone speaks with MK Palmore of Google Cloud to discuss strategies on how to increase the cyber talent pipeline, diversify the workforce, and boost retention.

Solution Spotlight: The talent retention and the cybersecurity skills gap.

As technology continues to transform operational capabilities for businesses, cyber threats have also become more sophisticated, introducing the potential for devastating consequences. While OT and IT networks have significantly converged to meet the demands of ongoing modernization, there are still distinct cybersecurity risks for each environment.

IT environments contend with risks such as potential loss of valuable data, intellectual property, and network services. In contrast, OT environments have different systems, network traffic, and adversaries which carry the potential to cripple industrial infrastructure, including the natural environment and human life. And during a cyber incident, both environments contend with the potential for operational downtime, loss of revenue, and reputational risks that can occur at excruciating cost.

Join us for an engaging discussion between experts from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 and Dragos, as we explore the unique challenges Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Risk Officers, and cybersecurity executives face to secure critical networks and assets from cyber-attacks.  

Our expert panel will discuss:
- How has the Threat Landscape evolved and the implications of cyber incidents for IT and OT environments 
- Insights into effectively bridging the gap between these two domains 
- How to organize your teams to prepare for an incident, & strategies for integrating IT and OT incident response for enhanced cybersecurity
- How IR teams help clients prepare and improve security posture with deliverable summaries/reporting (E.g., Upcoming SEC rules)

Panelists include: 
- John Wood, Consulting Director, Unit 42 by Palo Alto Networks
- Vernon McCandlish, Principal Industrial Incident Responder, Dragos

Solution Spotlight: Using data to make strategic workforce decisions

We've launched a new segment, Solution Spotlight, as part of N2K Cyber's CyberWire Daily podcast. This segment is hosted by Simone Petrella, President of N2K, where she explores ways in which cybersecurity leaders are addressing the cybersecurity skills gap through strategic workforce intelligence. In this interview, Simone meets with Camille Stewart Gloster of the Office of the National Cyber Director at The White House to discuss the latest cybersecurity workforce and education strategy, how to enrich diversity and skills, and how to build robust ecosystems for the public and private sectors.

Solution Spotlight: White House releases cyber workforce and education strategy

An estimated 402,000 US-based jobs are unfilled due to a lack of qualified talent. AI and automation don’t eliminate the need. All academic programs combined, even if they all generated job-ready candidates, are unable to produce the sheer volume needed to fill this gap. 

We believe organizations can build the talent pool they need by taking charge of their own cybersecurity workforce development strategy with the right plan and data.

Join CyberVista CEO and Co-Founder Simone Petrella as she addresses the current state of the cybersecurity talent gap and best practices cybersecurity leaders can implement going into 2022.
