The Modern Take on Security Skills Scarcity and the Technology Landscape

The cybersecurity technology landscape continues to evolve and expand while the talent pool to manage such tools continues to be scarce.

Talent is an especially complex and energizing challenge for today's most innovative security executives.

Join Uber CISO Latha Maripuri and JupiterOne CEO and founder Erkang Zheng as they consider novel ways to attract, train, and retain talent as well as modern approaches to the security tech stack. Here are just a few of the questions they discuss:

• Build vs. Buy: Should engineering-first organizations build internal tools or buy a vendor tool that accomplishes the same goal? How do we properly evaluate all possible options for strengthening our security programs?
• Domain Knowledge vs. Other Valuable Skills: How do we hire people who are prepared to tackle today's greatest security challenges with a tight supply of talent? How have the most important security skills evolved over the last decade?
• Succession Planning: How should security leaders strategically prioritize succession planning for mission-critical roles?
