CyberVista's live and on-demand webinars focus on cybersecurity workforce development and training strategies. These webinars are designed for cybersecurity and information technology executives looking to train their team for a variety of use cases: earning certifications, baselining skills, reducing training costs, improving talent strategy, increasing training engagement, and training cyber-enabled personnel. 

The supply of skilled cyber talent was, is, and will be well below the demand for talent, forcing cybersecurity leaders to commit to innovative talent identification and development practices. To address the growing talent shortage, cybersecurity leaders must embrace the responsibility of serving as educators and reframe their approach to building robust and competent cybersecurity teams using a new approach.

Join Jim Routh, former CISO/CSO at organizations like MassMutual, CVS Health, Aetna, and JP Morgan Chase, and Simone Petrella, CEO at CyberVista, for a discussion around: 

- The implications of cyber talent development within organizations
- The shortcomings of conventional cybersecurity talent development practices 
- How data can be used to identify and develop internal and external talent

Unconventional Approaches to Cybersecurity Talent Development

An estimated 402,000 US-based jobs are unfilled due to a lack of qualified talent. AI and automation don’t eliminate the need. All academic programs combined, even if they all generated job-ready candidates, are unable to produce the sheer volume needed to fill this gap. 

We believe organizations can build the talent pool they need by taking charge of their own cybersecurity workforce development strategy with the right plan and data.

Join CyberVista CEO and Co-Founder Simone Petrella as she addresses the current state of the cybersecurity talent gap and best practices cybersecurity leaders can implement going into 2022.

The State of the Cybersecurity Talent Gap

Of the 715,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the US, top titles include Cybersecurity Analysts, Network Engineers, and Software Developers. However, the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for these roles differ from organization to organization, making it challenging for employers to effectively source or develop talent and simultaneously frustrating for practitioners seeking employment.

The Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity—or NICE Framework—was developed by NIST in an attempt to provide a taxonomy for standardizing cyber job roles and core competencies. However, with 52 specific cybersecurity roles, seven high-level, functional categories, and 33 specialty areas, it can be difficult to dissect, interpret, and apply to one’s organization. 

This webinar will simplify the framework and demonstrate how you can leverage it as a strategic guide in elevating your cybersecurity workforce.

Join CyberVista Chief Product Officer, Jeff Welgan, and Booz Allen Hamilton Senior Associate, Joseph Thompson, for an in-depth discussion of how the NICE Framework and associated methodologies can positively impact:

- Skills Identification: Define and measure proficiencies against role expectations
- Career Mobility: Identify and hone transferable skills for various career transitions
- Talent Sourcing: Simplify the sourcing and onboarding process for new talent

Cyber Workforce Optimization: Leveraging skills within the NICE Framework

When talking about the cybersecurity skills gap, the blame tends to fall on universities for the lack of skilled talent. However, the cybersecurity industry at large may have a bigger stake in perpetuating the issue than we like to admit.

Join Simone Petrella, CEO & Co-Founder at CyberVista, and Ira Winkler as they discuss how to fix the self-imposed cyber skills gap.

Cybersecurity's Self-Imposed Skills Gap: How to Fix the Problem We Created

According to (ISC)2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study for 2020, the United States has a cyber workforce of approximately 879,000 people with an estimated workforce gap of 359,000. The Security Operations Center (SOC) knows the pain of the talent gap all too well - it can take upwards of eight months to source one new analyst, only to lose them two years later. 

David Cho, Director of Professional Training at CyberVista sits down with Jonathan Lanning, Senior Security Leader for a leading aircraft manufacturer, to take a look at the problem at large with developing cybersecurity talent for SOC, dive deep into Jonathan's first-hand experience and ideology as a security leader, and what fellow security leaders can do to secure a better talent pipeline.

As organizations step up investments in technology and services to manage increasing cyber risk, equal attention must be paid to the skilled teams that uphold these efforts. It’s time to use the internal and external data available to build the skilled, future-ready cybersecurity workforce needed to keep pace with shifting demands. 

Join Will Markow, VP of Applied Research - Talent at Emsi Burning Glass, and Simone Petrella, CEO and Co-Founder of CyberVista as they discuss data’s role in building a successful cybersecurity workforce strategy, including: 

- What market data and industry trends are saying about the most needed skills
- A data-driven approach to identifying and addressing individual capabilities
- The use of internal and market data to build career roadmaps and fill the talent pipeline

A fundamental understanding of cybersecurity is a business imperative. Whether your organization is on the cutting edge of cybersecurity innovation, or whether you lag 20 years behind, cybersecurity training for non-technical personnel—in IT, human resources, sales and marketing, and executive positions—is a valuable step toward improving overall security posture.

This webinar will discuss:
- What does cyber-enabled mean?
- Cyber-enabled job roles, with an emphasis on healthcare, financial services, and technology and cybersecurity industries
- Uses cases for cyber-enabled training
- How to secure buy-in and funding for cyber-enabled training
