Visit the 2018 Sessions page and scroll down to see which presentations are available for download. Several presentations, including the Opening Discussion and Keynote Address, were filmed, and we will share those as they become available over the next few weeks.
New Lunchtime Session Added: Bridging the Skills Gap
We’ve added an optional lunchtime session! Dr. Jeffrey Labrador of IBM Talent Management Solutions will present, “Bridging the Skills Gap: An Examination of Competencies Needed for Cybersecurity Professionals,” beginning at 12:15 pm in Room 20–21. It is estimated that almost two million cyber positions will be unfulfilled by 2022. This is largely due to a skills gap for the necessary technical skills needed for these roles. Dr. Labrador will focus on the identification of other areas outside of technical skills (e.g., competencies and aptitudes) that are appropriate for a number of cyber roles and explore how to identify the behavioral competencies needed for these roles as well as solutions to help assess them.
