Hey everyone, stop what you’re doing and check out the CIO Online article, ‘Are IT certifications replacing the college degree?‘ featuring our CEO! It was an honor to sit down with the author, Mary K. Pratt to discuss my transition from the United States Air Force to the corporate world and eventually into the public sector as a federal contractor. The debate over whether degrees or certifications are more valuable is ongoing, and with two decades of experience, a master’s degree in my field, and certifications like the prestigious CISSP, I’m able to provide some much-needed context to this important conversation. Thank you to ISC2 for providing me the opportunity! https://lnkd.in/dVtYrZdp #cybersecurity #cissp #theothersideofthefirewallpodcast #ramcyber
