The cybersecurity workforce shortage isn't a new problem—but according to Jamie Norton, Board Director at ISACA, it's one that's getting worse. In this on-location conversation during RSAC Conference 2025, Norton shares how ISACA is not only acknowledging this persistent gap but actively building pathways to close it, especially for early-career professionals.While many know ISACA for its certifications and events, Norton emphasizes that the organization's mission goes much deeper—supporting digital trust through education, community, and career development. One key area of focus: helping individuals navigate every phase of their professional journey, from new graduates to seasoned leaders. That includes new offerings like the Certified Cyber Operations Analyst (CCOA) credential, designed specifically to meet the growing demand for technical, hands-on skills in security operations roles.What's driving this shift? Norton points to employer demand for candidates who can walk into SOC and technical analyst roles with practical experience. The CCOA was created based on feedback from ISACA's 185,000+ global members and a wide network of hiring organizations, all highlighting the same pain point: early-stage roles are difficult to fill, not because people aren't interested, but because too many can't prove their skills in ways hiring managers understand.ISACA's response is both strategic and community-driven. Certification development is rooted in large-scale data analysis and enhanced by input from members around the world, ensuring each program reflects real-world needs. At the same time, ISACA recognizes that certifications alone don't create confidence. Community and mentorship matter—especially for those struggling with imposter syndrome or breaking into the field from non-traditional backgrounds.Looking ahead, ISACA is investing in career journey tools, AI-focused certifications, and guidance for post-quantum readiness—all while continuing to support members through local chapters and global programs.For those hiring, job-seeking, or guiding others into the field, this episode offers a grounded, forward-looking view into how one organization is equipping the cybersecurity workforce for the work that matters now—and what's coming next.Learn more about ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Jamie Norton, Director Board of Directors, ISACA | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamienorton/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/isacaLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:jamie norton, sean martin, marco ciappelli, cybersecurity, certifications, workforce, skills, governance, community, careers, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More

In Episode 350 of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, Diana and Nicole discuss Florence Matilda (Creer) Kelsey's first job. Diana begins by asking Nicole what she has been working on or reading. Diana recaps RootsTech, mentioning classes on AI, locality research, and transcriptions, as well as meeting listeners. Diana then introduces the subject of the episode by asking listeners if they remember their first job outside the home. She notes that ancestors also likely worked and faced challenges like answering to a boss and learning new skills. Diana shares that she is writing about her maternal grandmother, Florence, for her 52 Ancestor post, focusing on Florence's experience teaching school as a teenager.  Diana recounts that Florence was born in 1892 in Spanish Fork, Utah, and was the oldest of twelve children. When Florence was about fifteen, her mother had an accident, and Florence and her sister began working outside the home. Nicole reads from Florence's history where she describes teaching at Castilla, a small town in the mountains. The episode discusses the history of Castilla as a recreational area with hot springs and excursion trains. They examine the students Florence likely taught, identifying them as the children of the Southworth family, with whom Florence lived. Diana and Nicole conclude by sharing that Florence, despite finding the job unpleasant, was proud to help her family and purchase items for herself and her parents' home.

Send us a textWhat's the #1 money move every woman needs to make? Whether you're just starting your career, navigating a divorce, or planning for retirement, developing financial confidence is critical. In this episode, we're talking through the must-know money strategies for women- because life happens, and you need to be prepared.Our guest today is Galia Gichon- an independent financial expert with over 20 years in the industry, including nearly a decade on Wall Street. She's also an angel investor, educator, and an author sharing more on her book The Accidental Suffragist in this episode. She's also a fellow podcaster, co-hosting the podcast Fiscal Firecrackers with actress Susan Yeagley- where funny finally meets money!One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation? Every woman needs a financial safety net. No matter your situation- whether you're single, in a relationship, or even in a high-earning career- you must have money set aside that is completely your own. Why? Because life is unpredictable. Galia also shared around one of the most financially challenging life transitions: divorce. If you're going through it (or ever need to in the future), there are so many financial factors to consider. Child support, retirement savings, decisions around property ownership, these are incredibly overwhelming. It's not always a simple 50/50 split, especially when women have taken time off for childcare or worked part-time to support the family over the years. It is so important to have guidance and knowledge during difficult times such as these. If you're a woman who wants to take control of her finances, navigate major life transitions, or simply build confidence when it comes to money- this episode is for you.Got a unique financial story to share? Whether it's about crushing debt, building wealth, an unexpected windfall, or just a wild money moment, we want to hear it!  Or are you a professional who helps women with money?

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: A listener named Kevin asks, Hey, found the show and really enjoy it! Been listening from the beginning and have noticed that one of the pieces of advice given is that you should not stay at your first job for too long, because it's more likely that you've not found the best job for you. I think The Secretary Problem is the closest thing being cited. I tend to agree with the math, but I'm still at my first software engineering job after 5 years and don't really want to leave. There are obviously things I don't particularly like or people I find challenging, but for the most part, I work on interesting projects with smart people, it's fully remote, the benefits are great, and my salary is comfortable. There have been times where I started to look for another job, only to have my current circumstances improve enough that I stopped the search. What advice do you have for someone like me? I don't know if it's relevant, but I've managed to get married, buy a house, and just recently had our first baby. The pressure to provide and be conservative with my career is building. Again, love the show and I hope you'll get to answering this before I catch up. I started from the beginning in late 2024, and in mid Jan 2025, I'm just past episode 50. I'll let you do the math. As a tech lead, I joined a project two years in the making which had only one engineer doing everything, including management. In the two years, only a POC has been completed and a “pre MVP-MVP” build is in progress. There is a hangup though, the funding for the project is supposed to come from another departments budget that doesn't want it, and work was committed by the department I am in, and a third department intended to be completed by the end of the quarter. I have been trying to finesse my teammate into cancelling the project or at least allow a resetting of expectations. My manager agrees with me. There seems to be a tug of war between AVPs and Directors. This has led my teammate to make some corporate aggressive comments. These are being directed in many directions, including department heads opposing the project. In your professional space experience, how can I help my teammate with understanding that his tactics are potentially damaging to his reputation and the project?

In this episode, Adam Blum opens up about the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health, especially from a male perspective. He talks about his own struggles with mental health and how his journey led him to start True Blue Conversations, a podcast aimed at sharing real stories to help others feel less alone. Adam's message encourages vulnerability and openness, showing that asking for help is a sign of strength. About our guest: Adam Blum, born in 1992, faced significant challenges throughout his life, including debilitating health issues, multiple surgeries, and relentless bullying during his school years, compounded by ADHD. These hardships followed him into adulthood, where he struggled with severe depression and even contemplated suicide at 22. A life-changing phone call redirected his path, giving him a second chance. Now a firefighter with the NSW Rural Fire Service and creator of the True Blue Conversations Podcast, Adam uses his platform to share stories of resilience and personal growth. Through his work, especially with his project Easy Target, he aims to inspire others to overcome their struggles and build inner strength.
