Von Mai bis Dezember wird online das 60. Jubiläum derInternational Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) gefeiert . Die 1960 gegründete internationale Organisation ist ein Dachverband für über 40 Informatik-Gesellschaften aus aller Welt, darunter auch die GI. Die Organisation hat über 3500 Einzelmitglieder und ermöglicht diesen Expert*innen einen fachlichen Austausch in über 100 Arbeitsgruppen.
Um das 60. Bestehen der Organisation virtuell zu feiern, finden von August bis Dezember zehn virtuelle Panels zum Thema Future of Information Processing statt. Die Eventreihe wird von Mitgliedern der IFIP organisiert und gibt Expert*innen eine Bühne, über diverse Themen wie autonomes Fahren, Ethik in der Informatik und Cybersicherheit zu sprechen. Die Veranstaltungen sind frei zugänglich und Aufzeichnungen werden im Nachgang im Netz zur Verfügung gestellt.
Das neunte Event der Reihe - Cybersecurity Skills - findet am 29. November um 15 Uhr statt (Veranstaltungsspache ist Englisch).
This session will examine the multidimensional challenge posed by cyber security skills, the need for which has gained increasing recognition on a global scale. One fundamental problem is that the desired skills are in short supply, resulting in recruitment and retention issues for employers. However, a further underlying challenge is that cyber security itself actually encompasses a broad range of areas, with different knowledge, experience and skillsets being relevant to different roles. This can result in knock-on challenges in understanding the skills landscape and interpreting whether particular skills are matched to our needs. The panel will consider these issues, including the part that academic qualifications, industry certifications and professional standards can potentially play in providing a solution.
Participation is open to anyone and free of charge. You can register for the event here.
