Security Scholar Program to Debut at RSA® Conference 2016
RSA® Conference announces the RSA Conference Security Scholar program – a new initiative sponsored by RSA to connect the brightest up-and-coming cybersecurity students to leading experts, peers and conference attendees during this year's conference.
"Currently, there is a great need in the market for cyber professionals. The industry is seeing a dramatic rise in job openings juxtaposed with a lack of incoming talent,” said Sandra Toms, vice president and curator for RSA Conference. “We created the Security Scholars program to directly address this issue by sparking an interest in the cybersecurity industry with future thought leaders. This initiative presents an exciting opportunity to connect a wide variety of students to cybersecurity professionals, ultimately allowing students to develop a clearer understanding of how their skill set can help them pursue a career in cybersecurity.”
