Many paths can bring you to a specific place — no single one of them is the absolute best. One can be faster, another easier, another more pleasing to the eye, sunnier, darker; it is up to you to decide. What you do need to know is what the options are to make the decision that is right for you. Maybe you’ll even change your mind a bit while on the way.

Of course, we are not talking about vacationing and exploring here — we are talking about cybersecurity. What is the right path?

One piece of good advice is to ask people that have been there before you; network with them. Ask those that have experienced the different ways and may share their experience with you. Then you can decide where to start.

But it is not just about the way to the destination. What do you do when you reach what you thought was your forever destination and you want to change it up a bit, or even, one day, be done with it and move up? Left? Right? Down?

Join our chat with Helen Patton, and let’s decide where we can go today — and how we could get there.
