CompTIA explores training tomorrow’s cybersecurity workforce with two sessions at 2024 RSA Conference in San Francisco
April 30 2024 - 9:30AM
Ensuring that organizations of all sizes have the skilled
cybersecurity professionals they need to protect themselves from
all manner of cyber threats is amongst the issues to be addressed
by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information
technology (IT) industry and workforce, at this year’s RSA
Conference in San Francisco.
The RSA Conference, the world’s largest gathering of
cybersecurity professionals, will be held May 6-9 at the Moscone
Center.
CompTIA’s first session, titled “Transforming How We Develop the
Next-Gen Cyber Workforce,” will take place at 10:50 am on Thursday,
May 9. Panelists for the 50-minute session include Camille Stewart
Gloster, former deputy national cyber director for technology and
ecosystem for the White House; Jennifer Mathis, vice president of
career training at ACI Learning; Joel Rasmus, managing director at
CERIAS Purdue University, and Seeyew Mo, assistant national cyber
director for the Office of the National Cyber Director Executive
Office of the President at the White House.
Ron Culler, vice president of cyber development programs at
CompTIA, Will Moderate the Panel.
The panelists will explore innovative approaches to removing
barriers, promoting inclusivity, and creating alternative paths to
entry as the private and public sectors work to develop the next
generation of cybersecurity workers. The goal is to show attendees
how policy, academia, and industry can collaborate to upskill and
foster new cybersecurity professionals.
The second CompTIA-led presentation, titled “Bridging the Talent
Gap: How Certifications, Upskilling, and AI Can Help,” is scheduled
for 12:30 pm Thursday, May 9.
This session will feature a one-on-one conversation between
Keatron Evans, vice president of portfolio product strategy at
Cengage Group, a global education technology company, and CompTIA’s
Culler. The pair will discuss how organizations can leverage
certifications along with examining the role AI will play in
closing the cybersecurity talent gap.
RSA is the ultimate marketplace for the latest technologies and
hands-on educational opportunities that help industry professionals
discover how to make their companies more secure while showcasing
the most enterprising, influential, and thought-provoking thinkers
and leaders in cybersecurity today.
