How Companies and Job Seekers Can Solve the Cybersecurity Shortage Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Companies are getting attacked daily by cyber criminals.

Most of those attacks aren’t getting into their systems, but when you add up all of the phishing emails and attempts to get credentials, it can look like thousands of attacks in a month. At the same time, there are over three million open positions in cybersecurity. In order to stay ahead of the constant attacks, organizations need to fill these positions.

In this episode (part 7 of our #1SEAT series), Ron Sharon, Vice President of Information Security at Mercer Advisors, discusses how meeting that demand is going to require changes from hiring companies and job seekers alike.

How to Protect Yourself from Scammers Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Everyone has a right to privacy.

Though social media has blurred the lines between what constitutes public versus private, your personal information still needs to be protected. Every time you give up private information, whether that’s a phone number, an email, or a birth date, you make yourself more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

And public profiles aren’t just targets for scammers, either. Potential employers, college admissions committees, and anyone else can access your social media and make judgments based on that information. So don’t give up your right to privacy without a fight.

In this episode, Gabriel Friedlander, founder of Wizer Security Awareness Training, offered some insights on how to keep your information private while living in a public world.

How Non-tech Professionals Can Solve the Cybersecurity Talent Problem Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Cybercrime is on the rise and we don’t have enough defenders fighting against it.

In the next few years, cybercrime is estimated to become a multi-trillion dollar industry and that money is going to fund more illegal things. The impact will be felt far beyond cybersecurity. That threat means we need to have the best people working to stop cybercriminals, but there’s currently a shortage of candidates to fill roles.

Naomi Buckwalter, founder and executive director of Cybersecurity Gatebreakers Foundation told us the answer is to start opening the gates to cybersecurity jobs to people with non-tech backgrounds.

In this episode #5 of mini-series #1SEAT, she talks about how there are plenty of people who have the right skills.
