Abstract:
"Cybersecurity Shop Talk"
Cybersecurity is celebrated as a booming field and fulfilling career choice -- but what are the stories that no one tells you? Join John Hammond for an open session with behind-the-scenes banter on cybersecurity training, certificates and industry accolades, current events and resources. From there, we'll dive into anything that interests YOU as the group: whether it is malware, cybercrime, hot topics of career mistakes and ethical dilemmas, or anything you want to chat about in an audience-driven discussion.

I’m pleased to invite all MSSI students to join us on Tuesday, April 18 for the 9th Annual Cybersecurity Conference for Executives, hosted by ISI and Ankura.
