Have you ever wondered what it takes to get into the information security field? Have you thought how hard could it be? What about all of the big money I hear people make in this space? Well in this episode I talk with Mattalynn Darden and Esther Muchai about how hard it really is to break in.
If you are wondering how these two talented young women know, here is a little background on what they are currently doing and why it is relevant to the this episode's topic.
Mattalynn is an Information Security Intern at Lear Corporation and Esther is pursuing your Master's Degree in Cybersecurity at Grand Valley State University. Both of them share some of the struggles that they are currently having and I give some advice on how to possibly overcome them.
So, if you are thinking of entering the crazy, foggy world that is Information Security, then this episode is for you!
Talking Points:
- What made you want to get into the cybersecurity field?
- What are some of the main challenges that you are facing right now?
- Did either of you go the 'paid' learning route (e.g. college or training classes)?
- What are some free training/tools you have found useful?
