The Human Side of Security: Addressing the Talent Gap

Stories from the trenches are similar across the nation: Agencies are hemorrhaging security talent as skilled employees leave public service for big paydays with private companies – and low starting salaries, shrinking benefits, and cumbersome hiring practices are making it tough for many agencies to attract replacements.

This session will explore:
