🤔 You do NOT have to spend thousands of dollars on certifications to break into cybersecurity. Here’s how: This week I am honored to have filmed podcast episodes with two inspiring members of the security community who have very different approaches to upskilling, one of them actually built a platform for gamified cybersecurity learning that is FREE to use! There is an inspiring story of a former watchmaker in LA (Jibby Saetang) who played this game with ZERO technical background and with enough time earned himself a role on Microsoft’s threat intelligence team. Wild story! 🎬 Week 7 of the K.O’s Corner Podcast filming trip presented by Astro Information Security down! Key stats: 🚗700+ miles traveled (12,000+ total) 🎞️ 2 episodes filmed with Cisco Security Architect Kyu Jin Lee and CEO of KC7: The Cyber Detective Game Simeon Kakpovi 😊 1 Philly Cheesesteak inhaled This week I drove down the east coast as the tree lines gave way to falling, warm autumn leaves. After enjoying a legitimate cheesesteak with some of Fort Meade’s finest, I spent time in the DMV area with Microsoft Sr. Threat Intel Analyst and CEO of KC7, Simeon Kakpovi Simeon is an innovator. He is a builder. He wants to democratize access to genuinely excellent cybersecurity training and provide it in the form of a library of animated games that anyone, with zero IT background, can learn and thrive in. I truly believe the impact of KC7 will genuinely improve the cybersecurity community and quality of incoming cybersecurity talent. My interns, many at SJSU, and countless globally are grateful for this! My second guest is one of the most accomplished security architects at Cisco. She immigrated from South Korea, served in the Army, and holds over a DOZEN GIAC certifications as she is well on her way to earning the SANS Technology Institute MSISE. Here are my favorite lessons from them: Simeon - Actively seek out diversity and perspective. See the hard things through. Kyu - Don’t allow anyone to set limits for you. Try something and figure it out as you go. The key is action. ‼️ By the way, we are doing a complementary 1 hour security review and a discounted pentest for one lucky winner of our giveaway!
