"There is no doubt that the future looks promising for Information Security professionals. Slowly but surely, the world is waking up to the importance of having competent information security professionals as respected members of their organization. However, with the surge in popularity, attractive compensation, and professional respect, comes increased competition.
If your future career plans include a role as an Information Security Leader, you will need to begin preparation now, so that you will be able to successfully compete for these desired opportunities.
The Information Security Career Management workshop will offer the Black Hat attendee a departure from the technical tracks, and enable them to learn how to better manage their information security careers and more effectively pursue their individual career goals. The "Career Management" workshop will be broken up into four (4) sessions-linked by a common theme-Differentiation through Targeted Skill Development. The format will allow the Black Hat Attendee to stay through the full workshop-or select specific sessions that appeal to their personal career development efforts."
