A few weeks back I attended Blue Team Con in Chicago.  Based on one fo the sessions that discussed the culture challenges and shortages of qualified candidates I asked the founders of Blue Team Con to join me to discuss the challenges of finding talent and what to look for.  Why are hacker (hoodies) conferences always filled by young people? Why are other events that focus more on the blue team security defense side attended by those in business attire (suits) and seem to be an older age group?  Thanks to Frank McGovern and Stel Valavanis, founders of Blueteamcon, for a great conversation.
