TIAA CISO Tim Byrd and company CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett joined other private sector executives and education leaders at the White House this past August to discuss the nation’s need to address cybersecurity threats.
There, President Biden called out the growing sophistication of attacks and the increasing damage they’re inflicting. He also highlighted the desperate need for more qualified cybersecurity professionals, stressing the 500,000 open private and public sector security jobs due to the worker shortage.
Byrd knows firsthand the importance of having a fully staffed security team and the challenge of achieving that.
