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. Attrition and the increasing length of time needed to find a replacement leaves security programs — and firms — vulnerable. 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.
