'Women belong in cyber. We can help reduce the bias in technology, thus making the world a safer place.' — marigalloway
When I was entering the field, I wish I knew to network more with my peers and those throughout the industry. After several years in my career, I’ve found that networking has been super helpful in my career growth and advancement. I have been able to move into more senior roles and increase my salary through my network. I love that I can provide that to those coming up after me—so for those who are newer, don’t be afraid to reach out.Self-care is so important in the security world.
To relax, I like to have a glass of wine and build Legos. Currently I am working on the Titanic which is the largest Lego set to date. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, which is something I truly missed throughout the pandemic.
I advise people who are interested to do their research on all those areas, and then take the initiative to learn, through training courses, videos or online programs. Fortunately or unfortunately, nobody is going to hold your hand, but there are resources out there to help you figure it out.
The people in cyber who are successful do not all have a degree or a gazillion certifications, so why should the folks coming in be expected to have those things? I would love to see the industry shift to bring people in based on their core traits and then provide opportunities to learn once they’re in. Several folks can’t afford a fancy education or the latest certification, and they shouldn’t be penalized for that.
Once we start looking beyond the degrees and certifications and looking at the individual’s potential, we can begin to make a change.
