Everyone talks about skills-based hiring but do you actually know how to implement it? For many organizations the answer is “no.” To help demystify skills-based hiring, I’m thrilled to share that yesterday I had the pleasure of announcing a new skills-based hiring toolkit from Lightcast at an event hosted by The Cyber Guild. (link in the comments below). This toolkit provides actionable steps and tools to help organizations implement skills-based strategies in a thoughtful manner and maximize the impact of their skills-based initiatives. It was also developed to support the implementation of the National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy from the White House, which rightfully calls out skills-based hiring as an important way to address our nation’s shortage of cybersecurity workers. Thanks to Debbie Sallis for hosting a great event, and thanks to my fellow speakers Seeyew Mo, Matthew M., Raman Malhotra, Mark Tramontozzi, and Simone Petrella for their insightful comments. #skillsbasedhiring #cybersecurityjobs

Is the cybersecurity talent gap real or a perception? While there's been much discussion around the apparent shortage of cybersecurity professionals, I believe we're failing to address one primary issue - are we looking for the right talent in the right places? It's time that organizations broaden their approach when seeking out cybersecurity specialists. It's not solely about degrees and certifications; we need to acknowledge skills showcased in unconventional ways like open-source projects, hacking competitions, and self-taught expertise. And let's talk about diversity. Cybersecurity issues span across industries, cultures & societies so why shouldn't our workforce? Diversity brings varying perspectives to effectively tackle complex security challenges. Conclusion: The talent is out there. We just need to change where and how we look. #cybersecurity #recruiting

What do you like about LinkedIn? 1. I like when my connections react or comment on one of their connection's posts so I am exposed to new people and information. 2. I appreciate the conversations that happen in the comments of my posts and others' posts. 3. I love getting to have Zoom/Teams meetings, intro calls, or coffee chats to get to know the people I've met here. Today I had a delightful conversation with another talented cybersecurity professional who cares as much about the people who work cyber, including the psychological aspects, as much as I do. Looking forward to even more of all three of these in the future. #cybersecurity #leadership #connection #collaborators
