In this episode I got a chance to have a tough conversation with Naomi Buckwalter about the current state of cybersecurity careers. Naomi is the Director of Information Security for a confidential company based out of the US. Be warned that you need to have an open and reflective mind to listen to this one.

 Talking Points: 

• What's an example of a cybersecurity career myth?
• Truth: Is there is a workforce shortage?
• What is a gatekeeper?
• Myth: A Cybersecurity Job Needs Experience
• What areas of cybersecurity are truly a place for entry level to start?
• Let's rethink job shadowing with security jobs
• Why is there such animosity right now?
• Are security vendors gatekeepers also?
