Developing Your Security Career: Power Panel

Written by SecureWorld News Team | Mon | Apr 30, 2018 | 3:46 PM Z

Were you the kid that loved to hack and now you’re trying to defend against hackers?

Was it your business background or experience in risk that somehow landed you in cybersecurity?

Or did you go into IT and after helping with an InfoSec project you suddenly found yourself on the security team?

There seem to be endless ways into InfoSec.

But here is the crucial question: Now that you are here, how do you build and advance your career in security?

We are excited to announce a powerful panel of leaders at SecureWorld Kansas City, who will discuss their paths to leadership and how you can advance your own career.

Moderator Yaron Levi, CISO at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (BCBSKC), will interview three impressive panelists on May 9th:

  • Cindi Carter, Director of Information Security, BCBSKC
  • Sara Flores, CISO, UMB Bank
  • Lewie Dunsworth, CISO, H&R Block

They’ll address the skills you need, discuss how to keep yourself up to date, and share some of their “a-ha” moments that advanced their careers, so you can keep an eye out for those moments, too.

Security is a relatively new practice, it’s done differently at every organization, and it seems to be a moving target. However, there are keys to success that really work, so don’t miss this panel!

Join your peers at the 6th annual SecureWorld cybersecurity conference at Overland Park Convention Center on May 9, 2018.

You can see the updated agenda, view attendee levels, and register for a powerful day of learning and networking that is focused on the future of cybersecurity and leadership.

And if you have any questions about the gathering in Kansas City, contact our Event Director Natalie Boyer at  NatalieB@secureworldexpo.com. She'll be happy to answer your questions.
