From the course: Bridging the Cyber Skills Gap: Finding and Fostering Cyber Talent

Training today for tomorrow's solutions

- While technology provides us so much value in our lives, it also leaves us vulnerable to cyber crime. From hospitals to grocery stores and schools, our critical infrastructure is vulnerable. And as the virtual world continues to merge with our physical one, we'll only see more of these headlines in the future. We have a chance to change that future. We can live without the worry of our lives being disrupted by cyber crime. You're in cybersecurity because you want that future as much as I do. Unfortunately, that future is increasingly out of reach because as a community, we are not investing in our talent pipeline. My name is Naomi Buckwalter, and I've successfully hired and trained people with no experience in cybersecurity. I invite you to learn how to do that as well, and join me in building the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
