6312 - Developing Security Talent: A DIY Approach

Wednesday, September 27

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Speaker(s)

Kimberly Mahan, CISSP

President & CEO
MAXX Potential

Learn practical techniques for identifying untapped talent within your organization and developing your own world-class security team. (Hint: It doesn't involve just sending people off to training classes.) The presenter has been identifying and developing technical talent for the majority of her career. In this talk she will share lessons learned from "reskilling" seasoned professionals. Yes, you really can teach an old dog new tricks -- even when that old dog is yourself.

Attendees will learn how to sort through the plethora of training resources and take away practical advice for implementing a hands-on, rotational learning approach that can be effectively implemented at any organization. Whether it's for retraining an existing workforce or implementing an intern/apprenticeship program.

Learning Objectives:

Identify untapped potential within an organization. Assess aptitude in interested candidates and sort out the qualified from the merely curious. Know the top things to look for in a future cybersecurity professional.
Build a customized, rotational curriculum for getting people up to speed as quickly as possible. Understand adult learning styles, do's and don'ts, and how to best leverage publicly available (and often free!) training in conjunction with real-world applications.
Implement workshops and events for building overall organizational security awareness, while simultaneously identifying potential talent. Many of these techniques can also be applied to finding interns/apprentices and building a talent pipeline.
