Keeping up with evolving cyber security needs

As VP of Worldwide Channel Sales and Operations at FireMon, Mr. Kurt Mills, via his years of building Top Tier Vendor Partner Programs, is uniquely positioned to identify effective Cyber Security strategies.  After all... his resume highlights a who's who of the Security Industry:

Firemon
Websense / Forcepoint
Secure Computing / McAfee
Symantec / Bluecoat
8e6
TopLayer
F-Secure

What recommendation does Mr. Mills have to address the Cyber Security Skills shortage we find ourselves in... along with an increasingly sophisticated Threat Landscape?  Partnering with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to ensure client networks are setup in such a way that the Security Controls are optimally deployed/tuned.

In summary, as we all know and as common sense dictates, if you don't use it... you lose it.  Mr. Mills identifies a flexible education & partnering model in his ChannelPro article that will ensure we all meet the evolving Cyber Security needs of our clients by focusing on solutions within our sweet spot... and partnering on others.
