It’s estimated that there may be as many as 1.5 million unfilled positions in the global cybersecurity industry over the next few years. How will security departments respond to these staffing shortages? Where can enterprises find new security talent?

In this session, top experts in security team management and hiring will discuss tactics you can use to make better use of your personnel resources – and how you can get the training and skills you need to increase your value to your organization, as well as others that might be hiring.
