QuickStart Cyber Events & Media is the hub for QuickStart’s live and recorded cybersecurity content: monthly expert-led webinars for workforce leaders and for people building a cyber career, a regular podcast, and an ongoing video library. Sessions are led by named practitioners and workforce experts, and recordings stay available on demand.
Cyber Events & Media
Cybersecurity events, webinars
and podcasts
Live sessions, a regular podcast and an ongoing video library — for cybersecurity professionals building a career, and for the leaders building a cyber workforce.
The hub
What is QuickStart Cyber Events & Media?
One place, three formats. Rather than scattering webinar registrations, podcast episodes and product walkthroughs across separate pages, everything QuickStart publishes as live or recorded media lives here and is filterable by format and by who it is for.
It behaves like a category page: an index you come back to, not a calendar you check once.
-
Live webinars
Monthly expert-led sessions with live Q&A, across workforce and career streams.
-
The podcast
A regular conversation with practitioners, workforce leaders and QuickStart experts.
-
Video library
Ongoing explainers, walkthroughs and session recordings, published as they are made.
The filter
Browse everything by format and audience
The page indexes on two axes, the way a category page does. Every asset carries both values.
| Filter axis | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Values Webinar · Podcast · Video | What it does Lets someone who wants to watch 9 minutes avoid a 60-minute session, and vice versa. |
| Audience | Values Workforce leaders (B2B) · Cyber careers (B2HE / B2C) | What it does Two different people arrive here. This is the split that stops the page feeling like it was written for someone else. |
| State | Values Upcoming (live) · On demand (recorded) | What it does Upcoming drives registrations. On demand is the evergreen retrieval asset. |
| Topic | Values Skills-based hiring · Workforce planning · AI and the cyber workforce · Skills verification · Careers and certifications | What it does Topic tags reinforce the QuickStart entity set rather than being decorative. |

Who it is for
Two streams, one hub
The hub runs two separate cadences. The page makes the split visible so neither audience has to wade through the other’s content.
-
Workforce leaders · B2B
For CISOs, security leaders, HR and talent acquisition: skills-based hiring, workforce planning, reskilling and redeploying existing staff, and the skills AI is changing. Twelve sessions are scheduled across 2026.
-
Cyber careers · B2HE / B2C
For people building a cyber career: how roles are changing, what employers test for, moving between specialisms, and what a career path actually looks like. This stream is on the filter. Sessions appear here when they are on the calendar.
Regular conversation
The QuickStart podcast
A recurring conversation with the people who actually do this work — practitioners, workforce leaders, partners and QuickStart experts. Shorter than a webinar, less formal, and built for listening rather than watching.
Every episode gets its own page with a transcript, so it is findable by search and quotable by AI answer engines — not just a player embed.
Episode themes
- Cyber Workforce Intelligence
- Skills-Based Cyber Hiring
- AI and the Future Cyber Workforce
- Cyber Workforce Planning
- Cyber Skills Verification
- AI-Augmented SOC Workforce
Every episode is a page
Indexable text, not just a player embed.
Transcripts by default
What keeps an episode citable later.
Ongoing
Video library
Published as they are made, not on a schedule. Every video gets a page, a transcript and VideoObject markup.
-
Session recordings
Full webinars, available on demand after the live date.
-
Short-form clips
Single-point cuts from longer sessions, for people who want the one answer.
-
Explainers
How a concept or framework works, in a few minutes.
-
Product walkthroughs
What a QuickStart capability does and how it is used.
The evergreen asset
Watch anything back, any time
Every session, episode and video stays available after its live date, with the slides and resources the speaker shared. Five webinars are already recorded and can seed the library on day one.
This is the part of the page that keeps working. An upcoming-events list is only useful in the week before a session; a recording with a transcript stays findable, quotable and citable for years.
