This presentation will bring real world best practices from the trenches on how cyber security education and training can be both affordable and effective in helping people fill the cyber security job openings with the right skills. The presentation will highlight critical skills required in the next generation of cyber professionals and how is the role of a security analyst rapidly evolving with the advent of advanced targeted attacks and zero day attacks.
