The skills shortage remains a persistent challenge for the cybersecurity sector. Redressing the balance will require a root and branch approach – the development of a Future Talent Pipeline involving education from the earliest stages. Inspiring children and young adults to choose a career in our sector has never been more important. But entry remains challenging and the sector’s addiction to jargon and acronyms too often make it appear opaque and unwelcoming. Our panel will discuss what needs to be done to nurture and attract young talent to cybersecurity, how best to advertise it in a competitive skills market, what skills young people should develop, what qualifications they must focus on and, crucially, how to retain talent and develop it further.
