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

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) and the Founder of not-for-profit thought leadership platform #brainbabe (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.
