Land the perfect cybersecurity role—and move up the ladder—with this insightful resource

Finding the right position in cybersecurity is challenging. Being successful in the profession takes a lot of work. And becoming a cybersecurity leader responsible for a security team is even more difficult.

In Navigating the Cybersecurity Career Path, decorated chief information security officer Helen Patton delivers a practical and insightful discussion designed to assist aspiring cybersecurity professionals entering the industry and help those already in the industry advance their careers and lead their first security teams. In this book, listeners will find: explanations of why and how the cybersecurity industry is unique and how to use this knowledge to succeed; discussions of how to progress from an entry-level position in the industry to a position leading security teams and programs; advice for every stage of the cybersecurity career arc; instructions on how to move from single contributor to team leader, and how to build a security program from scratch; guidance on how to apply the insights included in this book to the listener's own situation and where to look for personalized help; and a unique perspective based on the personal experiences of a cybersecurity leader with an extensive security background.

Helen E. Patton writes about working in the security industry. Currently an advisory CISO at Cisco, she has worked as a security professional in multiple industries, and for multiple years, and shares her learnings with the community. Her time serving on cybersecurity advisory boards, and her education in public policy, gives her a unique perspective on the security industry. When she is not writing about security, she is spending time with her family in Columbus, Ohio. She advocates for making technology and security as ethical and diverse as possible. She also believes in regular naps.

Leslie Howard is a talented audiobook narrator with a background in intensive yoga study, metaphysics, and fiber arts who lives on a small farm sanctuary where she's raised six homeschooled children. She performs nonfiction, YA, sci-fi, and literary fiction and has trained with notable coaches like Sean Pratt and Paul Allen Ruben. She brings creativity, empathy, and a lifelong love of performance to her work.
