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.
