THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO LAUNCHING AND ACCELERATING YOUR CYBERSECURITY CAREER

Cybersecurity is one of the world's fastest growing, most exciting fields—but that doesn't mean it's easy to enter the industry and succeed. Now there's a complete guide to creating a great cybersecurity career, whether you're migrating to cybersecurity from another field or already a cybersecurity professional.

Building a Career in Cybersecurity doesn't teach detailed technical skills you can get from a thousand books and videos. Instead, Yuri Diogenes focuses on make-or-break knowledge you won't find elsewhere: personal strategy, planning, process, mindset, and the critical "soft skills" today's employers are desperate to find.

Diogenes is your perfect guide: he's been there and done it all. He is Principal PM Manager for a cybersecurity team at Microsoft, hiring the next generation of practitioners. He's also a professor for a bachelor's degree program in cybersecurity, where he prepares students to become cybersecurity professionals. Diogenes will show you exactly what leaders like him are looking for, and mentor you step-by-step through getting started and moving forward.
