Consulting often comes with strong opinions, but how much of it is actually true?
In Debunking the Myths of Cybersecurity Consulting, cybersecurity professionals and incoming graduates from EY discuss the realities behind consulting culture, working in cybersecurity, and starting a career in IT consulting. Through an open and conversational panel discussion, the episode explores topics such as social media backlash surrounding consultancy, expectations versus reality, career development, workplace culture, and the opportunities consulting can offer to young professionals entering the industry.
The discussion also highlights a side of cybersecurity consulting that is often overlooked: the technical depth involved in the role and how hands-on the work can be compared to common perceptions of consulting. This 40-minute episode is aimed at students, graduates, young professionals, and anyone interested in the consulting side of cybersecurity who wants a more honest perspective on the field beyond the stereotypes.
Speakers: Sara Amelia Bilic (Host), Thomas Claessens (Professional), Leyla Bilen (Professional), Casper Trog (Professional) and Romain Lange (Student from University of Liege)
