Discovering Your Passion in Cyber Security

Presented at BSidesLV 2019, Aug. 6, 2019, 2 p.m. (25 minutes)

I will discuss my personal journey into cybersecurity, how to identify needs, and creating your own educational path to support your goals. Fill in the gaps in cybersecurity by creating your own path and finding your sense of purpose. Cybersecurity is a new field and in a way, we are the pioneers of this field. There is no "right way" to get into cybersecurity, and the opportunities are endless.
