Upcoming Presentation: Getting Your Cybersecurity Career Started

Presenter: Corey Grant

When: Tuesday, March 15 at the USC Incubator.

About: I have been a cybersecurity professional for about 6 years. I love the challenge that comes with the day to day. The added challenge of making a solution work securely is adds the extra zing that I was looking for over traditional IT work.

Synopsis: My Journey and Recommendations.

This presentation is my journey and recommendations for getting into cybersecurity. While my journey was a more "traditional" one we will discuss the pros/cons of other paths into the field. I'll also provide my recommendations on what training and certifications are best. There are many ways to get into cybersecurity so there isn't a "one size fits all" approach.
