Allegiant Air CISO Details Top Strategies for Effective Recruitment
Beyond advising the senior-most levels of the business in the strategic use of technology, the need to recruit new cybersecurity professionals often also tops the list of top tasks facing today's security leaders. "We've had a lot of people retire, and retire early with COVID coming up, especially the older generation with lots more experience in the field," says Rob Hornbuckle, CISO of Las Vegas-based airline Allegiant Air.

He says the effective strategies for helping to recruit to his team include "a personal touch and a lot of my own time being involved in it."
