Fireside Chat: How to get into Cyber With Industry Cyber Experts
The most traditional road to a cyber career starts with a technical university degree in computer science, followed by a few years of work experience. The diversity of skills required to service a full cyber program in an enterprise requires more than strong technical skills; it requires skills in organisational change, data analysis, economics, and creative problem solving.
Following the presentation join the speakers for Q&A, light refreshments and networking.
