Report author Amy Harris, associate professor in information systems and analytics, moderated a panel of experts from area tech companies to discuss the report findings and what they mean for the region. The "Middle Tennessee Tech" research program started in 2018 to provide our community with data on the current state of the local technology workforce. In recognition that information security is an important aspect of the local tech landscape, we (the NTC and MTSU) decided to produce a report that focuses on the current demand for information security talent as part of that program. This session will present the results of that report, providing a status update on the state of the information security workforce in Middle Tennessee. The report presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders engaging with the report's findings.
