WORKSHOP – Hiring and Retaining top IT & Security Talent

Despite a growing pool of cybersecurity professionals, the demand for skilled talent continues to outpace supply. In this competitive landscape, how can your organization stand out and become a magnet for top-tier cybersecurity talent?

This interactive session will explore practical strategies for attracting and retaining exceptional professionals in IT and cybersecurity. We’ll discuss how your visibility as a thought leader can serve as a powerful recruitment tool. You’ll learn how to leverage creative incentives, foster internal mobility by identifying hidden talent within your organization, and build training pathways for non-cyber professionals who show promise.

Most importantly, we’ll examine the critical role of leadership soft skills in retention. Today’s professionals seek more than just a paycheck – they want to work for leaders who are empathetic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their growth and well-being
