The availability of trained cybersecurity professionals in this market is always a challenge. How can a security leader use the odds in their favor to develop out a workforce that more accurately reflects the society at large, and build a talent pipeline that continuously produces stellar capabilities?

Cracking the code on empowering cross-generational teams is foundationally critical to reducing turnover, improving productivity, and lowering cybersecurity risk. Join this panel discussion and explore the various challenges and opportunities that come with building a team composed of individuals from different age groups. Hear from panelists from different generations as we discuss how their goals and motivations differ depending on age, life experience, and professional aspirations. Together we will tackle the tough questions and address ways to bridge intergenerational gaps to develop a cohesive team culture, as well as strategies for providing ongoing training and development opportunities to keep all team members up to date on the latest cybersecurity trends and technologies. By fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, organizations can build a stronger and more effective cybersecurity team that is better equipped to protect against today's evolving threats.

Let's have a discussion on these predictions and determine:

1. Are these on target?
2. If not, what are our predictions?
3. If we agree, what do we do about them?

• Forrester analysts share 5 shocking cybersecurity predictions for 2023

The innovation attack surface results from the massive, decentralized, accidental risk created by the smartest people in the business. In essence, it refers to the continuous unintentional risk cloud data users, such as developers and data scientists, create when using data to drive innovation. Agile data security that is cloud-native, always on and autonomous is necessary to tackle this new data attack surface. We will introduce Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and how it can help. In addition we will discuss the collaboration between the CISO, the CDO and the CPO in tackling data security and how modern security teams are developing a data security function under the CISO to manage ever increasing data security, data governance, and data privacy requirements.

Shockingly, two of the top reasons people leave their jobs in cyber security are because of high levels of work-related stress (45%), and lack of management support (34%). In fact, data from Gallup reveals that just three in 10 U.S. workers strongly agree that their opinions seem to count at work. Further, one study revealed that by moving that ratio to six in 10 employees, organizations would realize a 27% reduction in turnover. Even though leaders recognize this, higher salaries and benefits are NOT in fact the most effective way to land the best people. In fact, leaders are missing the key to creating an organization where people can thrive

This lively discussion will feature an expert seasoned CISO, with experience of hundreds of incidents, running 4 MSSP’s discussing some of the benefits and downsides to consider when looking for help: MSSP’s, consultants, venders and your business. We discuss how to get the most out of an MSSP while maintaining critical “tribal knowledge” staff and get past “phone it in” SLA based outsourcing. We’ll also cover some ideas to make your Board and C-levels work together on the same team.
