What would you do differently if you knew then what you know now? Good question, but not practical, because that is obviously not going to happen. Still, some people have “been there” before you, and even if they cannot guide you step by step — they can lay out some master plans and give you some tips on how to advance your cybersecurity career.
This is a field that is constantly changing. So even if you did know what and where you want to be tomorrow, there's a good chance that you would adjust your destination (and goals) as you go; but it sure would be nice to have some guidelines to start on the right path, to receive some advice, and maybe even a guide as you climb up that mountain.
Jax, Kim, Gerald, and Jon come from different backgrounds, experiences, and all have diverse skills. Nevertheless, they are all extremely valuable for anyone who is about to embark on, or needs some guidance along the way through, their infosec profession adventure.
Join us as we learn what inspired them to co-author this book, what they bring to the table, teach, and even learn from each other as they wrote this Cybersecurity Career Master Plan.
There is something for everyone in this book, even for themselves.
Listen up and let us know your thoughts.
