Description

Connecting early-career cybersecurity professionals with the right opportunities and resources is essential for organizations as the demand for a skilled cyber workforce continues to grow. In celebration of Cybersecurity Career Week and Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) hosted a ‘Cybersecurity Connections’ event focused on cybersecurity careers on October 15, 2024. This event, co-hosted alongside NICE (NIST), the Maryland Department of Commerce, and Montgomery County, Maryland, brought together leaders and established cybersecurity professionals from industry, academia, and government and connected them with individuals at the beginning stages of their cybersecurity careers (and those wanting to transition into the cybersecurity field).
