Dr Jessica Barker: Confident Cyber Security
The world is more digitally connected than ever before, and with this connectivity, comes vulnerability. It is therefore vital that all professionals understand cyber risk and how to minimize it. This means that cyber security skills are in huge demand, and there are vast career opportunities to be taken.
On this week’s InSecurity, Matt Stephenson welcomes Dr Jessica Barker, co-founder/CEO of Cygenta, author and keynote speaker at RSA 2020 for a chat about the current state of cybersecurity in a world that changes not just day to day, but hour to hour. Dr Barker puts her high powered perception on the people involved in the daily operation of keeping data secure and accessible. It’s not all 1s and 0s… often times it’s the people who make and break cybersecurity.
