Beneath the Cyber Armor: Revealing the Why Behind Our Newsletter!
I decided to start this newsletter to share my experiences and help others looking to pursue a career in cybersecurity. When I graduated from college, I landed my first job in technology simply because that's where the jobs were. Somewhat accidentally, I stumbled into cybersecurity—it was a new field, and my company needed people to get trained, so I raised my hand.
Starting out in the professional world with limited experience, I faced my fair share of struggles. I remember working hard and putting in long hours just to keep pace with my peers. I was desperately seeking help, thinking that if I could just get better at the subject matter, I could make a real impact. Throughout my career, I met a lot of wonderful people who gave me the opportunity to grow, guiding me along the way. Now, I want to pay that forward and do the same for others.
My career in cybersecurity changed my life and opened doors I never thought possible. Through this journey, I came to understand the ins and outs of the businesses I supported, recognizing how cybersecurity measures act as a safety net for an organization's network. I realized that cybersecurity is a balancing act—you're there to protect the company, but you also need to align with its goals. Thanks to cybersecurity, I climbed the career ladder faster than I could have imagined, revealing opportunities that once seemed beyond reach.
I'm excited to share my stories, lessons, and insights to help you navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging world of cybersecurity. Let's learn and grow together!
