Listen "Closing the skills gap: part 3 - Karen Worstell, VMWare"
Episode Synopsis
How early do we need to start to awaken interest in cybersecurity, and indeed technology, as a career?
In this week's episode, VMWare's senior security advocate, Karen Worstell, argues that we might need to go back as far as early years education. Then, of course, we need to maintain and develop that interest, as a young person moves through education and on to their career.
And there's also more industry can do, from developing people at the starts of their careers to improving the levels of built-in security in any connected device, she says.
