Abstract: CyberSecurity has multiple facets. This talk will cover the various aspects. This talk will also highlight the fundamental problems in the space; from the technical, policy and personnel perspectives. A diverse agenda with a singular, focused mission needs to have multiple voices and cultures at the table. Thus, this talk will focus heavily on bias and ways of addressing them in the effort of creating a world class cybersecurity program.
