Speakers:  Abstract:
  Cyber knows no borders, which is one of the reasons
  why cybersecurity can be an exciting career. But
  while hacking, cracking, and coding are fun
  and the things the public often thinks about
  when thinking about 'cybesecurity', they are not
  the only things cybersecurity professionals do --
  or need to know about in today's interconnected
  world. From knowledge and skills to understanding culture,
  organisations, and one's own capabilities, this talk
  will explore what it takes to be a successful and
  long-term member of the global cybersecurity workforce.
