iNTEREST Series: Introduction to Cybersecurity as a Career

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing technology sectors today. With an estimated 13.1 billion currently connected Internet devices, there have never been more access points and vulnerabilities to our sensitive and valuable data than there is today. As a result, there is an ongoing cybersecurity workforce gap making it increasingly difficult for organizations to find cybersecurity analysts, application security experts, and security leaders at the executive level. Participants will learn what it takes to enter the cybersecurity workforce and how to have a successful career in cybersecurity.

The iNTEREST Lecture Series is hosted by the Entrepreneurship & Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) at the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences. It is designed to introduce attendees to a variety of high-demand technologies associated with dedicated career paths. All sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the ETIC YouTube channel.
