Stanford Security Lunch

Abstract: There is a persistent shortage of good cyber security professionals. Every country needs their own cyber security capability. Early professionals were self taught and often extremely good. But now we need to grow them at huge scale in the formal education system. It’s a new profession and it’s not yet clear how to do that well. The methods we use to train IT students are a start but they are not a perfect fit. We are forming an alliance of major universities in Australia and New Zealand to pool experience and discover what works best. In this session we share some of the main impactful practices and approaches we’ve discovered so far. They are sometimes humorous, sometimes inspiring, but most are easy and cheap to implement and designed to work at scale. Come along and learn our experiences and techniques, share your own if you would like. We involve researchers, industry people, academics from other universities, academics and students from other disciplines, ... And we're interested in networking with you.
