Creating a Pipeline of Future Cyber Leaders with Matthew McCormack, SVP & CISO, GSK
from Security Visionaries · host Jason Clark, Matthew McCormack
“How do we help create a pipeline of future cyber leaders, but then also, that pyramid, how do we get millions more people into the discipline? And just convince them that you don’t have to be a computer scientist or an engineer to do this. All you have to be is inquisitive. I want somebody who looks at something and says, ‘well, that’s interesting. That doesn’t make sense. Let me figure out why,’ that’s the person who would make a good security person. If you are somebody that looks at something and says, ‘I don’t understand why it looks like that, but I’m going to go figure out why,’ then you’re right for this field.” — Matthew McCormack-------Episode Timestamps:*(2:30) - Matthew’s first job in security*(4:10) - Segment: Taboo Topics*(5:30) - Matthew’s role at GSK*(7:05) - How Matthew keeps up with the changing industry of security*(8:30) - Segment: Deep Dive*(8:35) - What it was like going from federal security to commercial security*(13:10) - The fastest growing risk in security today*(24:10) - Birds-eye-view on the current state of frameworks *(29:00) - Segment: The Future*(30:00) - What security leaders can do about the talent gap*(35:25) - Matthew’s favorite domain in security*(38:10) - Segment: Quick Hits LinksConnect with Matthew McCormack on LinkedInJason Clark’s LinkedInwww.netskope.com
