2nd Annual Virginia Cybersecurity Education Conference

The so-called "Cybersecurity Skills Gap" is in the news and drives many online debates about the gap and how it should be addressed.  What if the gap was not purely technical skills or facts to be taught?  What if our future cybersecurity professionals were being blocked by artificial barriers?  What are the untaught qualities, abilities, and skills present in successful "hackers" which should be included in any cybersecurity curriculum?  In this presentation learn how to incorporate techniques to encourage the highly desired qualities of Curiosity, Confidence, Creativity, Tenacity, and Empathy in all potential cybersecurity students.
