Security Succession Planning For Business Resilience – Jess Burn – BSW #273
Employees are on the move. As tech and security leaders adjust to managing hybrid teams, they should also plan for the loss and replacement of key security talent.

Implementing a formal succession planning process for the security organization mitigates risk and increases employee satisfaction and retention. This report provides steps for starting a succession planning program and real-world examples of companies that are already focused on developing and retaining the next generation of security talent.
