This week's #behindthescenes has a celebratory component! Tatyana Rodrigues was part of our first #cyberintern cohort. As a Bridgewater State University alum with her #mastersdegree in #criminaljustice and a #cybercertificate in #Cybercriminology and #Cybersecurity, she still had trouble breaking into the #cyberjobs market. As we all know, it's not easy out there! Hear from Tatyana about how the #CyberTrustMA internship program helped her grow her #cyberskills to help make her job ready. During her tenure here, she worked with Jeff Cassidy, CISSP (#EDR Director) and Sam Porcello, SHRM-CP (Intern Program Owner) to hone both her technical and her power skills, learning how to not just "do the thing" but also talk about her experience "doing the thing" so that prospective employers could really understand her competencies, skill-sets, and her limitless potential. What's even better: this story has a happy ending! We're so pleased and proud to say that Tatyana has landed her first job in the field with K&M Associates, L.P.! Help us congratulate her on the beginning of what is sure to be a successful career as a #womanincyber. Want to be part of other #CyberTrustMA students' success stories? DM us today to learn how you can be a part of our #MassCyberEcosystem!

Here at #CyberTrustMA, we believe in the value of #multidisciplinary thinking and how connections can be made between #cyber principles and the rest of the world - past, present, and, of course, the future. Check out one of our current #cyberinterns, Chloe Gerhardson, who not only appreciated the recent Tibet exhibit at Elms College for its cultural representation, but also for the parallels to #securedevelopment and #securedesign. #Cybersecurity - like beauty - is everywhere. As long as you know where to look. Speaking of which, if you're looking for trusted and affordable #SOC #EDR and #cyberadvisory services, hit us up! Not only will you benefit from the invaluable expertise of our team, led by Jeff Cassidy, CISSP and Saroja Hanasoge, MBA, but you'll also get to support the next generation of the #cyberworkforce - students like Chloe Gerhardson, who will continue to push our industry to new heights.

Elms College hosted the monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery, Tibet, last week as part of a Sand Mandala Painting exhibit in the Alumnae Library. The ceremony ends by sweeping away the painstakingly intricate mandala design, and destroying it upon completion. In #cybersecurity there is a similar knowledge of impermanence: no system is ever permanently secure. Security measures require constant adaptation in response to evolving threats, and like these mandala cermonies, a constant recreation of intricate systems and design.

First Thursday of #OctoberCyberAwarenessMonth! Today's #CyberTrustMA #intern #behindthescenes is with Robert Johnson, Junior at Bridgewater State University and alum of our first cohort! Check out Robert's story as he shares his path from vocational high school #IT program to a career path in #cybersecurity. Robert has been earning #certifications and keeping his eye on upward mobility from the start. During his time as a #CyberTrustMA intern, he earned his ISC2 #CertifiedinCyber and CompTIA's #SecurityPlus exam and attended every event we and our #employerpartners held so that he could expand his network and find his next opportunity. Many students we talk to are still learning about what areas of #cyber they are interested in, and Robert is no exception. Hear about his philosophy of keeping himself open and flexible, continuously learning about both the #offensive and #defensive sides of our industry. If you are looking for your next #entrylevel hire or #cyberintern who is passionate about building his skills, will be a steller representative of your organization, all while working to increase your #cyberresiliency, look no further than Robert! For more information on our #cyberinternships, contact Sam Porcello, SHRM-CP!

Isn't it great when timing aligns? Last week, the #CyberTrustMA team celebrated the opening of the Richard E Neal Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and the cover picture for the article on #GovTech was Springfield Technical Community College's Computer Information Technology faculty member, Jason Alves, walking his students through a #handson #skillsbased #cyber lab using Immersive Labs! Professor Alves is no stranger to #cyberlabs and has a variety of #homegrown cyber exercises and environments he has maintained himself. But as a true #cyberprofessional, he leaves himself open to whatever tools are going to best prepare his students for the real world. As a member of a #CyberTrustMA school, that means taking advantage of the over 2,500 labs that #ImmersiveLabs has to offer. Want to learn more about the #CyberTrustMA x #ImmersiveLabs partnership? Check out the press release for more details [https://lnkd.in/e5wzeniv] and stay tuned for more #behindthescenes on what it means to be part of our growing #MassCyberEcosystem.
