Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. In this eye-opening episode of the Cyber Distortion Podcast, we’re joined by Jessie Bolton, CEO of Bolt Resources and former Vice President of North Texas ISSA, to tackle one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: the human side of the cybersecurity skills gap.
Jessie brings a wealth of experience from her collaborations with ISC2, WiCyS, NICE, Infosec Institute, and higher education institutions. She’s at the forefront of redefining how organizations identify, nurture, and retain talent in an industry facing a critical workforce shortage.
From strategies to attract untapped talent to innovative training programs that prioritize real-world readiness, Jessie shares actionable insights for employers and aspiring cybersecurity professionals alike. If you’re passionate about building a stronger, more inclusive cybersecurity workforce, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
