Description

Cybersecurity talent management is nuanced. Traditional best practices around hiring, onboarding and professional development may not translate effectively into the security domain. The best people in cybersecurity are particularly adept at assessing, measuring, and managing security professionals.

Join Thomas Rogers, Co-Founder of MetaCTF, and co-host Phoebe DeVito as they connect with Mike Takahashi, Director of Security Engineering at BetterHelp and AI Red Teamer. On this episode, they discuss hiring for real-world skills, building teams grounded in curiosity, and developing talent through autonomy and trust. He shares insights on AI security and the risks and opportunities of agent-based models. Although credentials are important, Mike explains why hacking, building, and experimenting matter even more in the age of AI.
