- If you're watching this video,
you probably have way more talent
than you know what to do with, and you need help.
No, I'm just kidding.
You didn't read the description wrong.
The reality is you probably have the opposite problem.
In this highly competitive job market
in the cybersecurity space,
you're trying to attract and retain talent,
but it's the same talent that everyone else
is trying to attract and retain.
So you may not be able to get or afford them.
We're going to do something a little unpopular
to help close the cybersecurity skills gap.
Focus on entry-level talent.
In this LinkedIn Learning course,
I'll show you how these industry newcomers
can help you build a strong talent pipeline
in an incredibly competitive job market.
We'll talk about how building a pipeline
of entry-level talent helps you build
a sustainable security program
and improves your overall return on investment.
I'm Tia Hopkins.
I've been in the IT and IT security industry
for over two decades.
I started my career as a DSL installer
back when we were all ditching our dialup modems.
And today I'm an award-winning cybersecurity executive
and industry influencer.
Where I am today, would not have I been possible
if someone hadn't given me a shot
in the early days of my career
when I was trying to figure it all out.
And I'm so excited to share with you what I've learned.
