In this session, we will dive into the critical aspects of building a top-performing team. You will learn how to identify top-performing employees and ensure that your team is made up of the right individuals. You will also explore ways to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your team and allow you to make informed decisions about hiring and training.  This session will take a deep dive into:

• How to Spot an A, B, and C level employee: Learn about the key characteristics and traits to look for when hiring individuals to build a new cybersecurity team.
• Evaluating Team Skills and Experience: Discover how to assess the skills and experience of your team members to build out a comprehensive taxonomy of job profiles.
• Retention Tactics, Performance Reviews, and HR Concerns: Explore best practices for retaining top talent and ensuring that your team is performing at its best.
• Leverage the imbalance between enthusiastic entry level learners and your gaps by enrolling newer junior hires in a rapid, structured learning program to quickly get them to speed.
• Once gaps are understood, work with HR to create requisitions that are reasonable for the holes you are filling, e.g. don’t seek a BS in Cyber + 3 certificates for a 5 year person.
