Non-Traditional Technologists & the Cybersecurity Talent Gap

Various studies suggest that by 2021, there will be over 3 million unfilled cybersecurity positions, with just over half a million of those in the USA. Because technology is interwoven into the fabric of nearly every industry now more than ever, the cybersecurity talent gap is seen as an industry crisis in waiting. During this session, participants will learn ways to penetrate the cybersecurity industry to create thriving careers leveraging their non-traditional skill sets as strategic differentiators.

Note: This session is part of the broader Career Mingle Conference. Career Mingle has created a virtual environment that will play host to students, entrepreneurs, early to mid career professionals, and senior executives for three days of educational, insightful, and career-advancement discussion. As this event marks the beginning of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Career Mingle will highlight the latest technology trends.
