• Chapter 10 – UNSECURITY
• No shortage of stories about our impending doom.
• Another take (from me) - No Easy Button Solution To Cybersecurity’s
Skills Shortage (https://www.cybersecurityintelligence.com/blog/no-
easy-button-solution-to-cybersecuritys-skills-shortage-4150.html)
• Some people claim that there is no shortage, or that it’s overhyped.
• The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but there is plenty of
opportunity!

• What makes a “good”
information security
professional?
• Backlash from the Equifax
Breach, noted that Susan
Mauldin (former Chief Security
Officer) had a music degree;
therefore, she must have been
unqualified.

OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM…
“Good” Security Talent
“a problem emerges: according to LinkedIn,
Mauldin’s stated educational background has no
security or technology credentials, and consists
of.... a bachelor’s degree in music composition
(magna cum laude) and a Master of Fine Arts
degree in music composition (summa cum laude),
both from the University of Georgia. Once again,
this is the person who was in charge of keeping
your personal and financial data safe — and
whose failure to do that have put 143 million at
risk from identity theft and fraud.”

OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM…
“Good” Security Talent
When Congress hauls in Equifax CEO Richard
Smith to grill him, it can start by asking why he put
someone with degrees in music in charge of the
company’s data security.
And then they might also ask him if anyone at the
company has been involved in efforts to cover up
Susan Mauldin’s lack of educational qualifications
since the data breach became public.
It would be fascinating to hear Smith try to explain
both of those extraordinary items.

• What makes a “good” information security professional?
• Some people believe that you cannot be “good” without a technical degree, others
believe that you cannot be “good” without certifications like a CISSP, CISM, etc.
• There are thousands of awesome security practitioners who have no information
security degree whatsoever.
CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE
28
OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM…
“Good” Security Talent
Defining “Good”
• At FRSecure we “grow talent”.
• There are three things that create talent:
• Intangibles – the things you can’t teach.
• Education – the “book smarts”. Education can come in a variety of forms; degree
programs, books, in-person instruction, mentorship, certification preparation, etc.
• Experience – the “street smarts”. The best way to gain experience is by doing.
The three ingredients are not mutually exclusive and there are all sorts of ways.
#MissionBeforeMoney
FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
• Supply – we don’t have enough information security people.
• Acquisition – we can’t find enough good information security
people for ourselves.
• Retention – we can’t keep good information security people for
ourselves (and in some cases, in our industry).
• Culture – we have a “bro culture” problem that isn’t helping.
CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE

OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM…
Supply and Demand - acquisition, retention, and our culture
#MissionBeforeMoney
FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
• Two sources; people willing to change careers, and younger people entering the
workforce.
• Career Changers - If you were interested in getting into our field, where would
you start?
• A bachelor’s degree in cyber security will cost somewhere between $20,000 -
$60,000, or more. This might get you an entry-level job. A master’s degree
will cost much more. (Source: https://www.onlineu.org/most-affordable-colleges/cyber-
security-degrees)
• Certification? Training to pass the CISSP® exam can range from $3,000 -
$5,000, or more, and the exam itself will set you back another $699.
• Cost is a barrier to entry. Most people don’t have this amount of money lying
around.
• Younger People – Not enough education options (getting better, but not fast
enough).

• Early Education – schools are starting programs, and they’re working. Many
examples.
• Free Education
• FRSecure’s Mentor Program (https://frsecure.com/cissp-mentor-program/)
• SANS Cyber Aces Online (http://www.cyberaces.org/courses/)
• Cybrary (https://www.cybrary.it/catalog/)
• Cyber Degrees (https://www.cyberdegrees.org/)
• Mentorship – no single dominant program; this requires more of us giving back.
• Hire Intangibles – and train/educate for the rest. Can be a good acquisition
strategy too.
• Internships – becoming more popular, but we need more.

#MissionBeforeMoney
FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
• Our industry culture is not always conducive to attracting and retaining talent.
• Some of the results of our culture are gender inequity and minority inequity.
• Women make up 49.56% of the world’s population, but only make up 11% of
the information security workforce.
• 26% of our workforce is non-Caucasian (or “white”) male.

OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM…
Supply and Demand - acquisition, retention, and our culture
“In a survey of 580 scheduled attendees of the
Black Hat 2017 conference to be held in Las Vegas,
Black Hat found that 71% of respondents felt their
companies lacked sufficient staff to defend itself
against current cyberthreats. And, although less
than half of respondents (45%) were "concerned"
about the shortage of women and minorities in
the information security”
#MissionBeforeMoney
FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
• Since our industry is so male dominated, there’s a “bro culture” that exists.
• “It’s a very male-dominated culture.” “It can be a little more crass, a little bit
more rough and maybe some … females don’t like that, and it is off-putting.” –
Ellison Anne Williams, Ph.D., founder and chief executive of Enveil, a Fulton,
Md., data security company.
• It’s not only the people in our industry that contribute to the problem. Customers,
clients, and other normal people also assume that information security is a male
sport.
• “They have clients who won’t speak directly to them, It’s the assumption that
the woman is not the lead on the project. They just default to speaking to the
men.” - Leah Figueroa, lead data engineer at Gravwell, a data analytics
company out of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho (Source:
http://www.govtech.com/workforce/Why-Are-So-Few-Women-in-Cybersecurity.html)
• This culture didn’t start in our industry and it’s not exclusive to our industry either.

CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE 27 OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM… “Good” Security Talent When Congress hauls in Equifax CEO Richard Smith to grill him, it can start by asking why he put someone with degrees in music in charge of the company’s data security. And then they might also ask him if anyone at the company has been involved in efforts to cover up Susan Mauldin’s lack of educational qualifications since the data breach became public. It would be fascinating to hear Smith try to explain both of those extraordinary items.

  • 29. • What makes a “good” information security professional? • Some people believe that you cannot be “good” without a technical degree, others believe that you cannot be “good” without certifications like a CISSP, CISM, etc. • There are thousands of awesome security practitioners who have no information security degree whatsoever. CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE 28 OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM… “Good” Security Talent Defining “Good” • At FRSecure we “grow talent”. • There are three things that create talent: • Intangibles – the things you can’t teach. • Education – the “book smarts”. Education can come in a variety of forms; degree programs, books, in-person instruction, mentorship, certification preparation, etc. • Experience – the “street smarts”. The best way to gain experience is by doing. The three ingredients are not mutually exclusive and there are all sorts of ways. #MissionBeforeMoney FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
  • 30. • Supply – we don’t have enough information security people. • Acquisition – we can’t find enough good information security people for ourselves. • Retention – we can’t keep good information security people for ourselves (and in some cases, in our industry). • Culture – we have a “bro culture” problem that isn’t helping. CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE 29 OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM… Supply and Demand - acquisition, retention, and our culture #MissionBeforeMoney FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
  • 31. • Two sources; people willing to change careers, and younger people entering the workforce. • Career Changers - If you were interested in getting into our field, where would you start? • A bachelor’s degree in cyber security will cost somewhere between $20,000 - $60,000, or more. This might get you an entry-level job. A master’s degree will cost much more. (Source: https://www.onlineu.org/most-affordable-colleges/cyber- security-degrees) • Certification? Training to pass the CISSP® exam can range from $3,000 - $5,000, or more, and the exam itself will set you back another $699. • Cost is a barrier to entry. Most people don’t have this amount of money lying around. • Younger People – Not enough education options (getting better, but not fast enough).

Can be a good acquisition strategy too. • Internships – becoming more popular, but we need more.

  • 33. • Our industry culture is not always conducive to attracting and retaining talent. • Some of the results of our culture are gender inequity and minority inequity. • Women make up 49.56% of the world’s population, but only make up 11% of the information security workforce. • 26% of our workforce is non-Caucasian (or “white”) male. CISSP® MENTOR PROGRAM – SESSION ONE 32 OUR SEVERE TALENT SHORTAGE PROBLEM… Supply and Demand - acquisition, retention, and our culture “In a survey of 580 scheduled attendees of the Black Hat 2017 conference to be held in Las Vegas, Black Hat found that 71% of respondents felt their companies lacked sufficient staff to defend itself against current cyberthreats. And, although less than half of respondents (45%) were "concerned" about the shortage of women and minorities in the information security” #MissionBeforeMoney FRSECURE.COM/CISSP-MENTOR-PROGRAM
  • 34. • Since our industry is so male dominated, there’s a “bro culture” that exists. • “It’s a very male-dominated culture.” “It can be a little more crass, a little bit more rough and maybe some … females don’t like that, and it is off-putting.” – Ellison Anne Williams, Ph.D., founder and chief executive of Enveil, a Fulton, Md., data security company. • It’s not only the people in our industry that contribute to the problem. Customers, clients, and other normal people also assume that information security is a male sport. • “They have clients who won’t speak directly to them, It’s the assumption that the woman is not the lead on the project. They just default to speaking to the men.” - Leah Figueroa, lead data engineer at Gravwell, a data analytics company out of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho (Source: http://www.govtech.com/workforce/Why-Are-So-Few-Women-in-Cybersecurity.html) • This culture didn’t start in our industry and it’s not exclusive to our industry either.
