\u201cWe are making the hiring process easier for employers by bringing the best cyber talent in the world together in one place,\u201d said ISC2 CEO Clar Rosso. \u201cHalf of the jobseekers registered to attend the career fair have an active ISC2 certification, including the industry\u2019s gold standard certification, CISSP. This is an excellent opportunity for employers to engage with the best-of-the-best in the industry and, in turn, hire passionate and well-rounded individuals to create a more safe and secure cyber world.\u201d  <\/span><\/p>\n

The mission of ISC2 and the purpose of the career fair aligns with the four actionable items listed in the World Economic Forum\u2019s <\/span>Strategic Cybersecurity Talent Framework<\/a><\/span> of attracting talent into cybersecurity by improving diversity and removing barriers to entry in the workforce, educating and training cybersecurity professionals, recruiting the right cybersecurity talent and retaining cybersecurity professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Attendees will be able to upload and share their resumes, educational experiences and job interests with potential employers while browsing virtual booths to learn about companies’ career opportunities, cultures and benefits. Recruiters will be able to chat with jobseekers through text, audio and video capabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n
