Cybersecurity as a Career: What To Know and How to Prepare For it
Dr. Richard F. Forno, PhD.
University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA



Cyber knows no borders, which is one of the reasons
why cybersecurity can be an exciting career. But
while hacking, cracking, and coding are fun
and the things the public often thinks about
when thinking about 'cybesecurity', they are not
the only things cybersecurity professionals do --
or need to know about in today's interconnected
world. From knowledge and skills to understanding culture,
organisations, and one's own capabilities, this talk
will explore what it takes to be a successful and
long-term member of the global cybersecurity workforce.

Cybersecurity in the enterprise world
