Session Description:
The role of information technology as an engine of enterprise innovation and competitiveness has caught many IT leaders and professionals unprepared. That’s because for years they’ve been slow to address persistent human capital problems ranging from IT skill deficits, hiring/retention issues and pay inequalities to murky promotion paths and ineffective professional development programs. With information security and cybersecurity threats stunning the industry on a weekly basis, the pressure to fix longstanding people problems associated with securing the enterprise has never been greater. Coming to the rescue: applying traditional architecture principles to managing infosec/cybersecurity organizations, teams, and professionals. Dubbed ‘people architecture’, it is now becoming the most dominant practice for executing mission-critical IT-business initiatives effectively and predictably by ensuring talent acquisition and an appropriately skilled workforce. In this session industry analyst David Foote will define the pillars of infosec/cybersecurity people architecture, describe its basic components and practices, reveal who’s doing it and how they’re doing it.
Key elements of “people architecture” covered in this workshop:
- Learn the pillars of infosec/cybersecurity people architecture and its basic components and practices
- Defining standardized roles for architects, analysts, project/program managers, engineers, and tech specialists
- Building additive matrices to document job content and proficiency in technical, business, and process/methodology competencies, knowledge, and experience elements
- Structuring compensation and incentives and rewards including skills and certifications pay premiums
- Skills acquisition and development
- Streamlining people management processes
- Building capability road maps, phase-gate blueprints, governance, and performance metrics
- Case studies of who’s doing it and what their experience has been
