Current Choices: The Skills Needed For Today’s Infosecurity Market
Speaker(s)
Seminar Details When an economic crisis forces business to rethink cost and priorities: outdated practices die more quickly; while new cost-cutting innovations such as cloud computing move into the mainstream. (ISC)2 has tracked the impact of the current downturn on the information security profession with biannual career impact surveys and consultations with specialist recruitment managers to learn how jobs have been effected, and the challenges that hiring managers face as they seek people for their new priorities. Findings confirmed that our profession, like others, suffered job losses in the first six months, but there was also significant levels of recruitment activity, which picked up as the year progressed. The areas of expertise most sought after suggest companies are finally taking a more holistic, risk-based approach to their security. They include information risk management, operations security, access control systems and methodology, applications and systems development security, and security management practices. John Colley will offer insight into the competencies and skills these hiring managers are seeking, drawing from the from the collective body of knowledge amassed by (ISC)2 ‘s that outlines the fundamentals of security practice. He’ll also share relevant insights from (ISC)2’s broader body of research to cover notable changes in demand for skills and competencies and help delegates make informed choices for their careers. |
