Edward Pinos (2018, Global Security and Intelligence) now works as a security analyst at CrowdStrike. In this episode he tells us about his work investigating insider risks, writing detailed analytical reports, and enhancing security postures for all the critical infrastructure his company deals with. He says that some of his writing and creative communication work almost looks a little like marketing material, especially at times when he needs to convince colleagues to pay attention to very important security information. For current Embry-Riddle students, Edward advises them to explore opportunities beyond their initial academic and career goals and to be open to shifts and pivots in your professional trajectory. Be patient as your path unfolds, and don't feel like you have to settle permanently for the first job you take after graduating.
