Tim Herbert, vice president of research and market intelligence for CyberSeek, joins us to discuss something we're very excited about at Infosec, the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education’s CyberSeek model. The CyberSeek model helps aspiring and experienced infosec professionals progress through their career by providing clearly defined career pathways, an interactive job map, a list of skills and certifications most requested by employers for different roles, and a variety of other helpful data points that are backed by research into the information security job market.
