Making cybersecurity look cool, because it IS cool… This is my #CyberStory. Introducing my sister, best friend AND the person who is responsible for getting me into cybersecurity to begin with. 💡At the time, I had no idea what #cybersecurity even was, let alone any roles within the industry. 👩🏼💻 She knew my strengths, passions, skills and interests and encouraged me to explore specific roles in the industry that she thought I might enjoy. 🤍 Ever since that moment, I found Cybersecurity Awareness, an industry and role I love. Let this be your reminder that sharing your own career with others can be invaluable in helping them find theirs. Your advice could be the very reason someone finds their right path.

It's a powerful realization when you recognize your own value. In fact, it can be life-changing. When you understand your worth, you take control of your career. Instead of pursuing jobs, you allow opportunities to pursue you. By continuing to develop yourself, you become an even more valuable asset to any team. Invest in yourself, and the rest will follow. #selfworth #careerdevelopment #opportunities #cybersecurity

More questions for you: I believe the #Cybersecurity industry doesn't have a labor shortage for entry-level workers. I think our shortage is for mid- to senior- cyber people. One way to help plug this hole is to transfer people who are mid-career in other professions into cybersecurity (people who already understand the business context who just need some cyber training to add to it). To that end... If you are trying to break into the #Cybersecurity profession after working 5-10 years in a non-cybersecurity job, what questions do you have? What hurdles are you facing? If you managed to mid-career transition into #cybersecurity what did you wish you knew before you started the journey? If you are hiring mid-career people into your security team, what questions/hurdles do you have? #InquiringMindsWantToKnow
