Often the cybersecurity industry talks about the shortage of the workforce, but many ignore the real concern which is essentially a skill and an expectations gap. During this panel attendees will hear from the top certification bodies who will discuss what they are doing to fix those gaps including solutions and case studies for both entry and established cybersecurity professionals. Panelists are members of the Cybersecurity Credentials Collaborative (C3).
James Stanger, Chief Technology Evangelist, CompTIA
Brian Correia, Director of Business Development, GIAC
Andrea Bucklaew, Manager, Certification Department, CertNexus

Driving Impact: Empowering Certifications through ECSF
Panelists identified the benefits of ECSF for certification, namely how a common language can support portability, identification of gaps, coherence, standardisation of cybersecurity roles and skills. Alignment or mapping of their respective organisations’ certifications with the ECSF as well as use cases were precious tools to support career paths. Panelists also touched upon key features of the ECSF (accessibility, simplicity), including in comparison with the NICE framework. They shared information on the uptake of the framework, concurring notably on a high uptake of the framework one year only after its publication, its relevance for end users, a use of the framework mainly for conducting trainings, It was identified that the framework could also be leveraged by human resources as well as to support the design of career pathways, in a similar fashion as the US tool Cyberseek.
