Why is staying updated on the latest cyber news and happenings important, especially if you want to be in a cyber career?

Who makes a good cybersecurity analyst and why? Many different professions have an amazingly perfect talent for joining the cybersecurity field. Hospitality workers, stay-at-home moms, physicists, engineers, QA, developers, administrative professionals, insurance representatives, sales associates, and medical and dental workers. The list goes on. So many professions can bring their skillsets to cybersecurity and be highly successful.  

Let’s first begin with not expecting everyone to know what SOC means!

Passwords…we all have them…lots of them!! So many different logins these days and everyone can’t be the same. Why not? Because if one gets compromised, then they all get compromised. Amazingly enough, in 2021, the most used password was 123456.¹ This should tell you that many people don’t give their passwords much thought.

So, you have high-speed internet at your small office or home - Woohoo! 

We can agree that there are human errors when posting “Entry Level” Cybersecurity positions that require much more experience than a true entry-level position requires. However, this accidental posting is not far off from the mentality that is common with companies, hiring managers, recruiters, etc. 

Cybersecurity presents an expanding source of risk for every enterprise. McKinsey estimates the cost of cybercrime is increasing at 15% annually¹. This is a very rapid expansion of an issue that threatens the viability of each of our organizations. And yet, is our governance prepared – do we even know what we need to know to properly attack this threatening trend? And even more basic of a question – who cares?
