Solving the Cybersecurity Talent Crisis – Addressing Human Risks to Securing Cyberspace
Join us for an important discussion hosted by the House Cybersecurity Caucus, NICE, and SANS | GIAC as part of the NICE Cybersecurity Career Week. This event will focus on solutions for building a skilled cybersecurity workforce, a critical need that safeguards and promotes America’s national security and economic prosperity.
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, developing a highly skilled workforce is our most pressing opportunity within the cyber supply chain.
Cybersecurity roles are among the most complex in the IT industry, and with technology and risks constantly changing, so too must the skills and work roles. We will explore key issues currently impacting the US, such as AI and critical infrastructure protection, with expert insights from leading voices across government, corporate, and professional associations.
Intended Audience: Congressional Staff, Government Employees, Academic and Business Leaders, Representatives from Non-Profit Organizations and Civil Society, and Media.
