Description
In this episode...
David Shearer, Executive Director for ISC2 joins us to talk about the results of the ISC2 2015 Information Security Workforce Study
We ask David to highlight some of the results
We discuss how malware and application security were identified as top threats 3 years in a row -- and what's to be done about this
We discuss the major discrepancy between priorities from this survey and recent CIO surveys
We discuss the importance of communication skills (identified in the survey) while leadership and business management are far down the scale
We discuss with David how under his leadership ISC2 can build a much tighter alignment to business -- not just more security certifications
