HOW SECURITY PROFESSIONALS ARE APPROACHING CURRENT CHALLENGES: THE BLACK HAT AND DARK READING SURVEYS
Today’s attackers and exploits are more prolific and more sophisticated than ever. How are enterprise security professionals holding up? In this session, the editors of Dark Reading offer a look at two new surveys that outline current attitudes and plans of security pros: The Black Hat Attendee Survey 2015 and the Dark Reading Strategic Security Survey. These surveys discuss the top challenges faced by the enterprise security department, its buying and budgeting plans, and enterprise experiences in handling breaches and incident response. These surveys take the pulse of the IT security industry and offer a look at the results.

ADVANCING YOUR CAREER AS A SECURITY PRO
As a security professional, you’ve chosen one of the fastest growing – and potentially lucrative – careers in any industry today. You’re living in a negative-unemployment market where many organizations may be competing for your services. How can you take advantage of those opportunities? In this session, a top expert will discuss ways to advance your career: how to build your resume, how to approach training and certification, and when to look for a new position. You’ll get insight on how companies hire security professionals, how to approach job opportunities and interviews, and how to increase your salary.
