Cybersecurity has become an integral part of our lives, including government, community, school, employment, travel, leadership, and art. This webinar will discuss how cybersecurity now needs to be a life skill, and those skills can come from unexpected places. The next generation of professionals in every industry can tap into a range of experiences, not just technology, to advance their careers and defend their communities. Participants can expect to take away new ideas for how to protect themselves and their families, insight into how to add cybersecurity to your work experience, and interesting stories about how strange the intersection of security, culture, and government has become.
Benjamin Edelen is the Chief Information Security Officer of the Colorado Department of State.
