The cybersecurity sector is fortunate to include women who are experts and visionaries that are changing our technologies and approaches for the better, as well as serving as role models to help encourage even more women to pursue a career in the sector and bring greater equality and balance to the workforce.
Whether you want to go deeper into one of your core domains, or dive into an area you’ve not really explored to date, here’s a selection of sessions from our knowledge vault webinars where women have shared their insights and experiences that will get you learning AND thinking.
CC EXAM READY: Ask the Experts Before You Sit
It’s never too late to get into cybersecurity – but sitting for the CISSP exam will certainly speed things along. This session doesn’t just give you tips on how to prepare for the exam, what to expect on the day, and how to leverage it afterwards. You’ll hear from Radhika Gopalan, who explains how she pivoted from a 25+ year career in software development into cybersecurity.
External Cyber Defense for when Your Attack Surface is Everywhere
In this session Lorri Janssen-Anessi, NSA veteran and director of external cybersecurity assessments at Blue Voyant, leads the conversation on how external cyber defense can help you move from a reactive to a pro-active posture, to thwart attacks at source, not least by giving you visibility beyond your permitter.
Unconscious Bias Series (Part 1): Understanding Bias
Quick fire decision making is usually a good thing in cybersecurity. But that same ability to make rapid judgements based on limited information can lead to unconscious biases in decisions around hiring, promoting, and developing people, and dealing with clients. In this three part series, Suri Surinder, CEO and DEI Leader at CTR Factor, Inc. and Dwan Jones, Director, DEI at (ISC)2, help participants understand, identify, and ultimately manage their bias.
Zero Trust: Use Cases to Accelerate Your Program’s Maturity
It’s easy to decide to embrace zero trust. Implementing it is far harder, and an iterative approach is often the most sustainable option. In this session, Jennifer Minella, from IANS Faculty, details specific zero trust use cases spanning people, devices, and applications, to help you play your journey to zero trust maturity. She also talks tooling, considerations, and words of caution and recommendation.
CSPM Best Practices for Multi-Cloud: Beyond Native Tools
There are many good reasons to adopt multi-cloud. The inevitable “delta” between each provider’s native security capabilities is unlikely to be one of them. In this session, Sysdig’s Alba Ferri explains where native tools can fall short, unpacks a rash of acronyms – CSPM, CNAPP, SQPP – and shows you what you need to detect misconfigurations, excessive permissions, suspicious activity and more.
Securing Modern Applications: Serverless, Containers and Cloud
IAN Faculty’s Tanya Janca explains just what the cloud shift means for security team’s workflows. As well as outlining best practices when it comes to securing containers, serverless functions, and SaaS/PaaS/IaaS application, she’ll discuss how to shoehorn security into the development lifecycle to ensure every production app is as secure as it can be – and should be.
Cybersecurity Workforce Evolution
The cyber skills gap isn’t just an irritant. It’s an issue of national strategic importance. in this session, Forrester principal analyst Heidi Shey joins Sharon Smith to discuss the key issues around the cyber workforce. They cover certifications, the generation gap, and what diversity, equity and inclusion means in the cybersecurity profession, as we all contemplate profound demographic shifts in age, gender, range, and ethnicity.
