#40: CYBERSECURITY

Like computers but can’t code? Don’t let that stop you from seriously considering a career in cybersecurity. Just as valuable as hackers and programmers are the folks who configure security tools, analyze data and educate organizations. With Abed Hamdan, a cybersecurity professional from Australia, we’ll explore what it takes to protect your data for a living. What’s it like to respond to a security threat? How does A.I. impact the future of cybersecurity? And what does it mean to work for the “red team”?

You can find Abed’s training resources on his YouTube channel and his website.
