Episode 117
To celebrate National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, two one-time "security noobs" talk about their career trajectories and how they've grown to see themselves in cyber. Sammi Seaman and Jon Munshaw talk about their previous careers in library services and journalism, respectively, and how they applied some of those skills to cybersecurity. Other talking points include:
- Cybersecurity "ah ha!" moments.
- Not being afraid to ask questions.
- Free ways to expand one's cybersecurity knowledge.
- The importance of getting involved in local cybersecurity conferences and non-profits.
