The Tortora Brayda Institute and the Association of US Cyber Forces presents a new series to help bring awareness to the cybersecurity industry.
Cybersecurity as a job description is so encompassing. There are so many different jobs that fall under the category of cybersecurity, and there is not just one path to get there. Join TBI and AUSCF as we dive into different jobs in cybersecurity.
Each month we will have new speakers coming in to discuss:
--What is their job title?
--What do they actually do in their job?
--How did they got there (education, previous jobs, etc.)?
--Advice for those entering the field or looking to make a change within the field.
