Top Five Cybersecurity Predictions for 2025

Is the world in the midst of a cyber-war? If so, what do we do ? What are the implications? Our guest speaker is Dr Tine Munk, Author and Senior Academic at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. Dr Munk is known for cybercrime and cybersecurity. Her overarching research interest is cybercrimes in a political context, focusing on these crimes’ power, responses, and impacts.
 
Join this webinar on December 3, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern as Dr Munk explores some of the most notable recent cyber-attacks and draws interesting correlations with the tenets of warfare and defence.  During this webinar we will:
- Identify how organizations should be preparing for an information security landscape
- Practical tips on what to think about in your future cyber careers.

The Art of Cyber Warfare

The cybersecurity profession faces many challenges but even more opportunities. The ISC2 research team is dedicated to better understanding the barriers facing the cybersecurity workforce, but we are also focused on uncovering solutions that position these talented individuals to excel in their profession, better defend their organizations’ data and surpass their career goals.

Our research explores a broad array of topics, including:
<ul>
<li>Quantifying the cybersecurity workforce and skills gap</li>
<li>Better understanding the representation of women and minorities within the field</li>
<li>Salary benchmarking</li>
<li>Uncovering effective hiring, retention and team-building practices</li>
<li>Exploring management and leadership issues facing CISOs and Boards</li></ul>

Through better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing cybersecurity professionals, we are closer to achieving our vision of a safe and secure cyber world. Our Academic Partnerships Head, Alex Mortimer MBA will present the latest data and why our certifications are so important in closing the cyber work force skills gap.

The 2024 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Research Data

Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.

Passwordless Authentication: A New Reality or a Pipe Dream?

What do Cyber Security professionals do on a day to day? What happens? <br><br>
