DS21 - Matthieu J. Guitton - Building a Cybersecurity Workforce: Challenges for Organizations

The shift of human activities from offline to online spaces has major impacts on organizations – either public or corporate – in terms of security, therefore creating a constantly growing need for cybersecurity experts. Although for small companies, expertise can come from external providers, large organizations need to build their own cybersecurity workforce. For companies the limited number of higher education formations lead to tension in the employment market, and in the recruitment of people whose expertise is not primarily on cybersecurity. Furthermore, cybersecurity often focuses on technical aspects, and does not always deal enough with the human factor – while the human factor is critical for companies and other large organizations. This presentation will explore the challenges related to building a workforce in cybersecurity from the point of view of organizations. We will discuss how to build a workforce that can take on both the mission of first line defenders, and the mission of education of the other company members, ranging from its higher operatives to the basic workers, and how cybersecurity can be operationally articulated between security services and IT professionals. Matthieu J. Guitton is Secretary (Vice-Dean) of the Faculty of Medicine, Full Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and at the Graduate School of International Studies at Université Laval (Quebec City, QC, Canada), Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute, and Senior Researcher/Group Leader at the CERVO Brain Research Center (Quebec City, QC, Canada). He is the Editor-in-Chief of Computers in Human Behavior (Elsevier's leading journal in the field of cyberpsychology), and of Computers in Human Behavior Reports, and serves on several other editorial boards, such as Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences. A graduate from the University of Rouen and Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris VI, he obtained his PhD from the University of Montpellier (France) and was a Koshland Scholar/Postdoctoral Fellow of Excellence at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel). He has published over 120 research papers, book chapters, or editorials on subjects ranging from neuropharmacology and health sciences to cyberpsychology, cyberbehavior, or security issues. His most recent works have appeared in journals such as Computers in Human Behavior, the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence, or the International Journal of Intelligence, Security, and Public Affairs.
