Let's address the elephant in the room: layoffs are a taboo topic in our industry. While we readily discuss threats and risks within our networks, we often avoid addressing the vulnerabilities in our own careers. Career preparedness and sustainability are rarely taught, leaving many unprepared until it's too late. Bring your proactive strategies and lessons learned, and join us for an in-depth discussion. We'll cover key concepts and approaches to career resilience, from mentorship and tooling to networking and strategic career planning. This positive and empowering session serves as a call to action to embrace change and proactively manage career development.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe proactive strategies for preparing for potential layoffs in the cybersecurity industry.
  • Demonstrate how to leverage mentorship, tooling, and networking to enhance career sustainability.
  • Conduct self-assessments to identify transferable skills and maintain career momentum.
