Are you considering a career in cyber security, Or still trying to break in? Join our founder Simon L and guest Aaron Strong for a deep dive into his cyber career journey. Is there a place for people with “non-traditional” backgrounds in cyber security? We will be discussing: How Aaron’s non-traditional background has helped him break into the industry. How diverse backgrounds can add great value. Playing to your strengths, rather Han trying to fit as round peg in a square hole. How life experiences and our mistakes can help us achieve. Aaron is an Information Security Risk Analyst with a Masters of Science in Cybersecurity specializing in Cyber Intelligence. He is passionate about security awareness, and enjoys giving people the tools, practices and knowledge they need to protect themselves and their business from threats both internally and externally. Through his professional career, Aaron has held a wide array of positions. Unlike Liam Neeson - this has led to him having a very bizarre and varied set of skills that he taps into for his career. Just because someone don’t come from a ’traditional’ IT or Cyber background doesn’t mean they don’t belong or have very applicable and in-demand abilities! He has been fortunate to have traveled the world over, has 3 boys, and loves to talk hockey! This is a recording of our LIVE YouTube Show #cybersecurity #community #infosec

Her career has taken me from IT Support roles, to Systems Admin, Network Admin, and Information Security Analyst. She describes herself as a "Jill of all trades." Not only does she have people skills, but she loves to learn and teach as well. 

Never be afraid to ask questions, or willing to help. That is how we solve problems.

Join our founder Simon L for another live and engaging discussion with one of our cyber security leaders, with the chance to AMA all the way through!  

Joined today by Arnel Manalo!  Arnel with more than 15 years of IT and Cybersecurity experience has developed and supported comprehensive cybersecurity programs around the globe within multiple organizations across various industries. 

His focus is to align cybersecurity with business objectives through a fanatical approach to build relationships with peers, business, and his team to harden the posture and maturity of any business.   Arnel has always been a protector and defender, it’s built into him. 

From playing defensive positions in sports in his youth to working as an undercover security guard who caught shoplifters and internal employee theft during his college career at a major retailer. He has taken and set his physical guardian instinct as a solid foundation to protect digital assets.   

When Arnel is not playing a digital knight, he spends time with his family going snowboarding, hiking, fishing, and all-around fun adventures.
