In coordination with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NIST NICE), I will be livestreaming a presentation and QA on how to get into cyber without experience. Cybersecurity is an amazing field with significant opportunity, but individuals are often faced with the catch-22 challenge of needing experience to get a job, but unable to get experience without a job. This livestream talk will navigate the waters of getting into the field of cybersecurity if you currently have no experience. Attendees will learn what Cybersecurity-focused career paths exist, where to access free cybersecurity resources for professional development, and be provided career guidance for maximizing your opportunities.

In this video, we are addressing a serious issue within the cybersecurity industry and is often treated as a dirty little secret, burnout. Burnout is mental exhaustion from excessive work stress. This can be common in certain areas of cybersecurity and if you aren't aware of it, know how to address it, and handle it, you could end up mentally unhealthy (and unhappy). 📒 Show Notes 📒 If you are suffering from burnout or mental health concerns reach out and talk to someone.
