Thinking Differently About Cyber Talent/Critical Infrastructure for National Security – Kelly Rozumalski – BSW #287
The U.S. is at an inflection point in terms of cyber threats; Critical infrastructure attacks are growing more frequent and consequential, and the White House recently called the cyber talent gap of nearly 770,000 open positions a “national security challenge.” Kelly Rozumalski, SVP at Booz Allen Hamilton leading the firm’s national cyber defense business, joins BSW to discuss why upskilling and reskilling are key to closing the cyber talent gap at the federal level and how a collective defense posture across government and private sector can enable us to better secure U.S. critical infrastructure.
