How’s Your Frontline? Recruit, Retain, and Optimize your Cybersecurity Team

Contributed by Semperis

What can we do about the staffing shortage in cybersecurity? With research suggesting that nearly a third of the cybersecurity workforce is planning to leave the industry in the near future, organizations are left in a worrisome position, especially as attack surfaces are growing. So, where do we move forward from here knowing that we are facing low numbers in the field already and it’s likely to get even worse?

Semperis is offering incredible insight into the arising issues in cybersecurity, skills, and automation by providing team leaders a platform to share their struggles within the industry as well as their victories. In this webinar, we reach new depths and connections surrounding the cybersecurity crisis. The panel of health IT leaders includes Jim Doggett, Chief Information Security Officer at Semperis, Gary Gooden, Chief Technology and Security Officer (CTSO) at Seattle Children’s, and Anahi Santiago, Chief Information Security Officer at ChristianaCare.
