CYBERSECURITY CAREER, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, & LEADERSHIP
How To Find Your True Calling In Cyber Security
Speaker: Shruthi Kamath Talk Time: 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM PT
Abstract: Cybersecurity is a vast domain, and when you start out in the industry, it can seem really confusing. The huge range of options can make it difficult to decide which part is really your area of interest and what you need to do to be successful in what ultimately excites you. In this talk, hear about the experience of starting in a technical cybersecurity role to learning about the importance and benefit that communities bring and how, in the process, it connects to business roles in cybersecurity. The Case For Neuro-Diversity In Cybersecurity: Attract And Retain Neurodivergent Talent Speakers: Becky Miller & Dr. Aleise H. McGowan Talk Time: 10:30 AM - 11:25 AM PT Abstract: The current model used to attract neurodiverse talent to roles in Corporate America is broken. Companies tout their programs as being inclusive and supportive training grounds for stable careers. But these programs are ineffective. After onboarding is complete, many neurodiverse candidates are often met with exclusive spaces, permitted separatism, and unapologetic ableism. In this talk, we will outline actions organizational leaders can take to create and maintain talent programs and pipelines that support disabled and neurodivergent staff. We will also discuss strategies that support equity, and promote inclusion, based on sound educational pedagogy. These methods include the voices of disabled and neurodivergent workers and are aligned to industry standards.
