In this episode of the "NextGen Cyber" podcast, we sit down with Pat McShea, Program Manager for Cyber Mission Operations at CACI.


Pat shares his insights on the evolving cybersecurity landscape and emphasizes the critical role of soft skills like communication and problem-solving in the field. He believes these skills often outweigh technical expertise, especially for new graduates. "It's not necessarily what you learn; it's that you learn," says Pat, highlighting the need for adaptability in our fast-changing environment.


This conversation is especially timely as organizations continue to face a talent gap in cybersecurity, underscoring the need to nurture both soft skills and technical training in future professionals. Tune in for valuable insights that could shape your career in cybersecurity!
