Oh the Places You'll Go (in Cybersecurity) - Jason Shockey - ESW

We've been hearing a lot lately about how the talent gap in cybersecurity is much more complex than some folks have been making it out to be. While making six figures after going through a six week boot camp might be overselling the cybersecurity job market a bit, it is definitely a complex space with lots of opportunities.

Fortunately, we have folks building passion projects like My Cyber Path. When Jason transitioned into cyber from the military, he took note of the path he took. He also noticed how different the path was for many of his peers. Inspired by NIST NICE and other programs designed to help folks get a start in cyber, he created My Cyber Path.

My Cyber Path has a very organized approach. There are 12 paths outlined, which fall into 4 main areas. After taking a personality test, this tool suggests the best paths for you. Hmmm, this sounds a lot like the sorting hat in Harry Potter, and there are 4 "houses" you could get put into... coincidence?

Segment Resources:
My Cyber Path has a free account where people can get matched to a cybersecurity work role based on their interests and personality traits and get access to free areas in the platform without having to save a credit card.
