We were so delighted to have Jessica Barker join us for this episode and share her unique InfoSec Journey with us. Jessica is so well respected in InfoSec and highly inspirational to others; the co-CEO and Co-Founder at Cygenta and also Chair of ClubCISO - an awesome community for Information Security leaders. Jessica has a fascinating background, with a PhD to her name and has a unique take on the human element of Cyber Security and what that means for modern business.

Jessica has worked with countless organisations helping them achieve their strategic goals and has recently authored a book entitled "Confident Cyber Security: How to Get Started in Cyber Security and Futureproof Your Career" as part of the Confident series from Kogan Page. You can get your hands on it here:

We talk about how managing people, business politics and the art of communication can really help you progress in your career, about how Jessica juggles the wide range of priorities she has with running a business and her top three skills to demonstrate when breaking into InfoSec, namely:

1) Keep learning - this is a fast-paced industry

2) Communications - at all levels

3) Problem Solving - approaching issues from different angles

A fantastic episode, full of industry insights that hopefully inspire you to consider more about the human element of Security and also the key skills you need to break into the landscape and progress once you're here.

Thank you again Jessica, we'd love to have you back!
