In this episode of CPO PLAYBOOK, Felicia Shakiba dives into one of today’s most pressing challenges: the critical shortage of cybersecurity talent in government agencies.

Felicia is joined by Katie Roberts, Founder and CEO of RPR Strategies, who brings deep experience from both public and private sector HR to discuss solutions.
