We’ve spoken to a lot of cybersecurity leaders about representation, access, gatekeeping, and the so-called jobs shortage in the industry -- which may or may not be of our own devising. But we haven’t spoken to a lot of people who are breaking into cyber for the first time. So when I ran across Ciera Stroman’s post on LinkedIn celebrating her first day as a Security Analyst, I reached out to learn more: about her journey, how she got through, and her hopes for the rest of her cyber journey.

Live from Black Hat 2021! We talk with David Cass, VP of Cyber & IT Risk at Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This interview doesn't touch on his responsibilities at the Fed, but draws on his decades long experience working with cloud security and across the financial sector.

As women consider pursuing careers in cybersecurity, they often don’t see the industry as a viable option. Low representation, lack of female role models, stereotyping, and pay gaps all contribute to the perception, and reality, that the cybersecurity playing field is far from balanced.

On June 30th, SafeGuard Cyber hosted a leadership panel called, "Vision & Voice: Removing Barriers for Women in Cybersecurity." It was so well attended, we wanted to make it available to a wider audience.

This conversation featured insights from women cyber leaders Naomi Buckwalter, Amy De Salvatore, and Evelyn de Souza.

They shared their perspectives on how a new generation of women can enter the industry, remove barriers, and achieve lofty career heights as cybersecurity professionals and executives. The panel also featured Lisa Hayashi and Karen Kukoda from SafeGuard Cyber.

The dynamic changes. MSPs are growing, as companies large and small struggle with capacity and skill shortages.

Something is happening in cybersecurity, and Naomi Buckwalter is speaking her mind. A decades-long industry veteran, she has built up a massive community on LinkedIn. There, she's speaking to and generating much needed conversation around some of the thorniest issues in cybersecurity: how to break in, issues with representation, how we win the war on cybercrime, and more. Do yourself a favor and join her conversations.
