CEO. Mom. Wife. Closet lawyer. Cybersecurity workforce development - preparing for the workforce of tomorrow. The exciting part about life is living it.

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

Having an effective cyber workforce is a national security and economic priority. This is a team sport and glad to see the White House pushing for a team-based approach

[Kemba Walden @KembaWalden46]

It is only together that we will continue to address cyber workforce demands, build long-term workforce capacity, and position all Americans to benefit from the enormous potential of our interconnected future. This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth join our call to action!

@thecyberwire @CyberVistaEd @N2Knetworks @peterkilpe @bittner And this is just the beginning!

[Peter Kilpe @peterkilpe]

I’m incredibly honored to be part of the team at this transformational moment for the @thecyberwire and @CyberVistaEd. The opportunity to work with @simonepetrella and such an extraordinarily talented group of people is truly exciting.

Had so much fun talking how to use assessments and metrics to tackle the cyber talent shortage at @cnbcevents Tech Exec Council…even though I run @CyberVistaEd (although Cybervision sounds fun!)

"If you don't focus on the entry level and growing them we're never going to solve the over pipeline issue," says @simonepetrella See if you qualify to join @CNBC Technology Executive Council. Learn more about future programming: https://t.co/l0FDkR03Pp

According to @simonepetrella, "There are currently about 460,000 open jobs in cybersecurity and waiting to get more talent into the field isn’t going to make a dent in this need." Read more about the labor shortage in this growing sector:

"The talent shortfall in cybersecurity spans industries." Developing cyber talent from within has become a necessity. @simonepetrella weighs in on the latest public-private sector initiative for #cybersecurity in @FortuneMagazine. https://t.co/GXs1e9i94q

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

Great chatting with ⁦⁦@SusanCaminiti⁩ from ⁦@CNBC⁩ about the cybersecurity workforce shortage. We aren’t going to solve it waiting for new talent to fill the pipeline https://t.co/qMrXhdNeMs

@brightmachines @HankThomasDC Welcome to the SCV family @brightmachines.

Let's disrupt the status quo and transform the future together.

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

@jumpinmpduke @NickThoughtRepo @EricLiptonNYT I don't disagree. But companies underestimate how long/hard it takes to find people to fill cybersecurity defense roles, even when they have a known issue. That's ultimately on them...and I think they need to take more proactive steps from the get go as it relates to people

[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

.@traceypretorius just celebrated 17 years (!!!) at @Microsoft, so we wanted to know what she loved most about working in #security:

Should VCs Embrace (some) Professional Services?
Find out in @SCV_Cyber's newest blog by Principal @ahern_christoph, where he takes a deep dive into how VCs relationships with professional services have changed.

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

Love this (if it wasn’t so bitingly true). Employers need to be more serious about what skills they actually need to do the work. Those that do the hard work up front are rewarded

[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

There is definitely a skills shortage! What can we do to help combat that?

Let's hear from our advisory board member @simonepetrella: https://t.co/psGm9IVffs

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

I meant every word but don’t go getting too big of a head about it @HankThomasDC !!

[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

We asked @simonepetrella why she joined our advisory board, and her answer did not disappoint!

Not only do she and @HankThomasDC go way way back, but she saw her own experiences reflected in the mission of our company.

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

Not every job is a cybersecurity job...but MOST jobs are now cyber enabled ones. What roles do you rely on the most for ensuring your networks and business operations are robust and secure? https://t.co/DwgppFySGj

[Simone Petrella @simonepetrella]

It already costs a lot for #cyber talent...and it’s not working. How about looking at some staff already in your company that might be successful in your workforce?
