## Candy Alexander on the Cyber Security Career Lifecycle

[http://www.issa.org/?page=CSCL](http://www.issa.org/?page=CSCL)  
![meet-ciso](https://blog.towerwall.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/meet-ciso-1.png?width=213&height=213&name=meet-ciso-1.png)  
 The Cyber Security Career Lifecycle ( CSCL ) , sponsored by ISSA, is to empower cybersecurity specialists to drive the destiny of the profession. The CSCL is:

- A program to enable professionals to steer their individual career paths by providing guidance and resources needed to achieve their long-term career goals.

    - Skills and career level assessments

*Candy is the Chief Architect of the ISSA's Cyber Security Career Lifecycle (CSCL). The CSCL enables members to self-identify where they are within their career, analyze their knowledge, skills and aptitude strengths and areas to improve upon in order to success and progress in their career. Candy is a Member of the ISSA Hall of Fame and the International Board of Directors - starting in 2000 through the present day.*

## Deidre Diamond on Why is finding a place to work that you love so hard?

![deidre-diamond](https://blog.towerwall.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/deidre-diamond.jpg?width=213&height=213&name=deidre-diamond.jpg)  
 Cyber Security is short 1M professionals, yet finding a job that's a great fit is overwhelming and stressful. Let's talk about how to find a job that creates more enjoyment while also discussing what's happening overall in the cyber security job market.  
*Deidre Diamond is the Founder and CEO of the national cyber security staffing company Cyber Security Network ([CyberSN.com](http://cybersn.com/)) and the Founder of not-for-profit thought leadership platform #brainbabe ([brainbabe.org](http://brainbabe.org/)). Prior to founding CyberSN and #brainbabe, Diamond was the VP of Sales for the national technical staffing company Motion Recruitment, the first VP of Sales at Rapid7* (NYSE:RPD) *and the CEO of Percussion Software. Because Diamond herself was hired as an entry-level employee and trained to lead technology service organizations and cyber security software organizations, she believes the tech community needs to expand its awareness of what it means "to be in tech" and what it means "to be in cyber." Diamond desires to achieve a new way of hiring and retaining women in cyber security.*

### *Other speakers on careers are pending and will be added.*
