Cyber Chat: Sean Kelley and NIH Center for IT CISO discuss plans to remake the cyber workforce

“Jothi Dugar wants to change cybersecurity. But not by creating a new technology, framework or methodology. The Chief Information Security Officer at the National Institute of Health’s Center for Information Technology wants to change the look of those who work in cybersecurity.”

“On this edition of Cyber Chat, Host Sean Kelley discusses Dugar’s plans to remake the cyber workforce.”

“Diversity is often thought of as simply a race- or gender-type of issue. In my perspective, it’s much broader than that. So when I look at diversity, I look at a variety of different factors such as thinking style, ethnicity, age, religion, education, experience, perspective and skills. I look at it as a variety of different things and that’s really what makes up a really good workforce in any setting, but especially in cyber,” Dugar said.” Listen to the interview here.
