Q:

What role does diversity and inclusion have within cybersecurity?

A:

A large role in my opinion. You know, when you really think about the process--that hackers and other folks that are trying to get into or disrupt systems--there's a lot of diversity of thought and creativity that goes into that by understanding how a system works and how they break. I think to counter that you also need to have that same level of diversity and thought and I think that comes from having people who have varying backgrounds and experiences that can come to the table. They may not look at a problem the same way that everyone else is looking at a problem.

Q:

Who has been your mentor on your cyber journey, and how are you mentoring others?

A:

I've had so many mentors and mentees informally. Lots of different people have helped me learn individually through different thought processes. While you help others grow, you grow too! Everyone is here to support you no matter what you're doing in your career. Your colleagues can help you create a unique career path, teach you about cyber and help you forage your own path in the field.

Q:

Why do you think Lockheed Martin is the leader in digital safety?

A:

We are really putting an effort into hiring top talent and we're focused on getting great candidates into rewarding, challenging, and impactful cyber careers they enjoy. Lockheed Martin C&I hosts monthly recruiting events which seek to attract and screen top talent to fill some of our government’s most critical roles. We also have significant history working with various government customers, so we have the merit and track-record required to succeed in new and exciting contracts. Additionally, Cyber & Intelligence sponsors IRADs, which are independent research and development facilities. These IRADs provide us with advantages on building talent and gaining expertise on new and exciting technologies. Employees working in these IRAD departments really get great hands-on experience with some stuff.

Q:

What's next for cyber defense?

A:

Behavioral analytics to help determine patterns for future threats will helpful in preventing future breaches. Embedded hardware authentication provides an extra level of security when identifying a user's identity. Finally, Blockchain security creates a near-impenetrable network to keep hackers at bay. A lot of machine learning and AI evolve into the next generation to protect from hardware
