We all know that cybersecurity, and industrial cybersecurity in particular, is facing a huge talent deficit. 

Finding an individual who not only understands the technical elements of cybersecurity, but also appreciates the dynamics of keeping a manufacturing operation up and running is extremely difficult, as they need to balance security with uptime, defense with productivity, and investment with implementation timelines. 

Our guest for today’s episode can empathize. Watch/listen as Yaniv Kapluto, the Chief Revenue Officer at Nukudo, offers insight on the unique ways his company trains cybersecurity talent, including:

  • Why he looks for individuals who work with the precision of a Navy SEAL and the soul of a pirate.
  • The challenges of placing someone who sees how to break things amongst organizations charged with creating new products every day.
  • The value in viewing tests or challenges as games or puzzles.
  • The importance of developing and contributing to a culture focused on cybersecurity.
  • Making training fun in order to keep people engaged.
  • The unique impacts of artificial intelligence on cybersecurity.
