One piece of advice for young cybersecurity enthusiasts?
Immerse yourself in the space. Read long-form, enterprise journalism about technology and threat trends, attend talks virtually or in-person on topics that interest you, and network with others in the industry as your finances and schedule allow. Most people feel like an imposter when they first enter the industry given how large, complex and constantly changing cybersecurity is. But, those feelings will subside within a year. I promise.?
That's all for today. We will be back next week.
