    Hi there, welcome to The Techtual Talk! I'm your host Henri and today we have a very special guest joining us - Aria, also known as "AD" on Twitter where she shares invaluable insights about being a Cybersecurity Consultant in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as job search strategies. 


    Aria has a fascinating multifaceted background in GRC. She started her career as a fraud analyst at American Express before transitioning into compliance and risk after working on an impactful project involving investigation and legal action against fraud perpetrators. Determined to excel in GRC, Aria embarked on an intense self-learning journey - accessing a grant program for cybersecurity certifications, completing it, and landing a role as a GRC analyst. 


    In our conversation today, Aria breaks down the critical components of an effective risk assessment process. She emphasizes the importance of control determination, risk level assessment, prioritizing risks, and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. Aria also provides real-world examples illustrating significant business risks like cyber attacks, ransomware, phishing and employee vulnerabilities.  


    We dive into the ongoing debate around certifications versus degrees for GRC job applications. Aria shares astute advice for individuals considering career changes, stressing the value of foundational knowledge and demonstrating transferable skills. She also opens up about the challenges of thriving in a GRC career - from meeting compliance needs without compromising operational efficiency to staying on top of GRC news in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.


    Aria's remarkable career progression, nearly a $100k increase since her early days as a fraud analyst, underscores the demand for GRC professionals with strong technical backgrounds. Her parting words for our listeners - take a proactive approach to learning, commit to excellence, and put in the work independently to achieve great outcomes.


    Stay tuned for this illuminating and inspiring conversation with Aria! #GRC #cybersecurity #salary

    Welcome to  another episode of The TechTual Talk!

    In this episode, we tackle the tough questions and share practical advice on navigating the often daunting journey of job hunting, particularly in the tech and cybersecurity fields. We discuss why finding a new job can take anywhere from three to six months—or longer—and explore the critical role of networking, strategic planning, and resume optimization.

    You'll hear us debunk the myth that applying to countless jobs increases your chances of success, and we emphasize the importance of focusing on relevant positions and tailoring your applications. Henri sheds light on the benefits of obtaining entry-level positions at reputable companies that offer tuition reimbursement, while Destini shares her personal journey of entering cybersecurity through a master’s program.
    We also address the controversial topic of job training programs and certifications, and whether they are worth your time and money. Additionally, we'll chat about quality engagement on LinkedIn, building a robust personal brand, and leveraging connections to find referrals and job opportunities.
