March WiSKC Meeting with Misty Stacy

Breaking into Cyber Security:

A discussion for recent graduates, those looking for a mid-career change, and any leader who has ever had to fill a position in cyber security

Summary: Whether kick starting your career just out of school, or looking to transition from IT into a Security role, we will cover things like resumes, education/certifications, acquiring a mentor, skills matrix for various cyber roles, scholarships/grants, and how you can approach your employer with the idea of transitioning from your current role into one that is more cyber-focused.
