Stephens advises CISOs to examine their talent search and retention strategies. “Are you really being honest about the skills and education background you need in your new hires or are you putting false barriers in place?” she asks.

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Stephens discusses:

  • The challenges governors and other state policymakers face in ensuring a resilient workforce;
  • What government agency CISOs can learn from the NGA study;
  • NGA’s recommendations for building a resilient workforce amid technological disruption.
