Think cybersecurity is just “hackers and hoodies”? Think again.
The cyber industry spans analysts, AI architects, policy advisors, red team operators, cloud defenders, digital forensics experts, cyber diplomats — and that’s just the beginning.
The Cyber Workforce Series by Tortora Brayda Institute for Partnerships in AI & Cybersecurity and AUSCF pulls back the curtain on what these roles actually look like.
Every month, a new cyber professional joins us to answer:
- What do you really do?
- How did you get here?
- What skills actually matter?
- What advice would you give someone starting today?
If you’re curious about cyber, considering a pivot, or helping students navigate career options - this series is for you.
Join us this month as we visit with Kathryn Wang, Principal Public Sector - SandboxAQ.
Kathryn Wang is a technology and security executive with 20+ years of experience aligning advanced innovations with cybersecurity strategies. As Public Sector Principal at SandboxAQ, she bridges post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and data protection with the mission-critical needs of government agencies, enabling a zero-trust approach to cyber defense. Previously, Kathryn spent 16 years at Google and its incubator Area120, leading global initiatives to embed Secure by Design principles into emerging technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI.
