Abstract: Cybersecurity is no longer just a technology problem; it has become a business differentiator. As the topic is discussed around corporate boardrooms and government task forces, the face of Cybersecurity professionals is changing as well. Ms. Whittemore will share her experiences and observations she’s made throughout her career of the different facets of that new face, highlighting how non-traditional skills now apply in the area of Cybersecurity.
