There are millions of cybersecurity jobs open. Over time, that number has just been growing. What we're doing now does not seem to be working. So what's it going to take to fill all these jobs quickly?

Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Steve Zalewski. Our guest is Rich Gautier, former CISO for the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division.
