The skills required in Cybersecurity for 2022 and beyond has shifted. The industry is finally awakening to the fact that we can no longer depend on security skills, technologies and approaches which simply alleviate symptoms, but fail to identify and fix the root cause – Human Behavior.
 
Next-Gen Cyber Talent, a not-for-profit organization which promotes diversity in Cybersecurity and supports underprivileged, underserved talent), is hosting a panel discussion specifically for CISO’s to hear from industry leaders who have recognized the importance of Behavioral Science and have been working to embed these skills in industry.
