In this episode of The TechTual Talk, we're joined with our inspiring guest, Kayla Carter – fondly known as "Cowgirl Carter." Our host HD welcomes Kayla to discuss an array of compelling topics, from the intricacies of penetration testing and incident response to the emotional journey of overcoming imposter syndrome in a predominantly male industry. Kayla, a Lead Application Security Validation Engineer, shares her fascinating career transition from insurance claims to cybersecurity, fueled by a single tweet and a Google CyberSecurity Coursera course, and her role in building a dynamic application security testing program from scratch.

 Along the way, they navigate the challenging yet rewarding path of network engagement, job application strategies, and the importance of solid leadership. Plus, they reminisce about the evolution of social media, the enduring charm of MySpace, and the modern dynamics of Twitter and Threads.

Stay tuned as we explore Kayla's strategies for success, her upcoming consulting venture, and candid advice for those looking to break into cybersecurity. Don't forget to follow, comment, like, and subscribe to support the podcast!
