Article Summary

Maybe you saw the 60 minutes report on SolarWinds. Perhaps you've read the New York Times article about "3.5 million open cybersecurity jobs." Or maybe, like me, you were tired of fixing printers. The point is, you've been bitten by the cybersecurity job bug. But how do you get that first job? What if you don't have a technical degree? Or any degree? And what's the difference between a threat hunter, threat intelligence analyst, and SOC analyst? Join me for some practical advice on first roles and breaking down myths on getting started.
