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.

Don't learn "the hard way" by making costly career mistakes. Get this book, and build your plan to win!
