VP, Director of Cyber Incident Response in Finance (non-banking), 10,001+ employees
We’ve started a program for retraining some of the workforce on a volunteer basis. The program gives people an opportunity to look for a career inside the bank that they might not have been able to enter otherwise. I get a handful of bank employees and give them a crash course in cybersecurity. Then they come to work in my security operation center (SOC).

It’s a career with good job security. I tell them, "As long as there's somebody in the company who likes to click on whatever they’re sent, you’ll have a job. Whether they’re opening an email, or clicking on a button to enter their password into some document, we have a job.” They all laugh at that, but it's true.
