In this unique two hour guided session, The InfoSecLeaders, Mike Murray and Lee Kushner will provide Black Hat attendees with an open forum to ask questions relating to the management of their own information security career. The information shared will be pulled from their real world experiences in coaching and advising information security professionals on career related topics over the past decade as well as the questions they have received and answered in their Career Advice Tuesday column on their InfoSecLeaders blog.
Since the audience drives the program, questions will range across the entire gamut of all things that concern the Blackhat attendee and their career as an information security professional. Topics will include career planning, position selection, effective networking and personal branding techniques, and analysis of the information security employment market. In addition, tips will be provided on the topics of resume preparation, interviewing techniques, compensation negotiation and employee/employer relations.
This session is designed to provide Black Hat attendees with an alternative from the highly technical presentations. There will be an open door policy and is designed for attendees to have their personal career questions answered. Attendees can stay for 10 minutes or the entire 2 hours.
The goal is to deliver career content that the Black Hat attendees can apply and utilize to improve their personal information security career.
