You started in cybersecurity… but do you actually know where this path leads?

If you’re already in cyber — or trying to break in — you’ve probably asked yourself at least one of these:
  • What’s the real career path in cybersecurity?
  • How do people actually move from entry-level roles to leadership?
  • Is becoming a CISO realistic… or just luck and connections?

Most people don’t fail in cybersecurity because they’re not smart enough.
They get stuck because no one ever explains the full picture.
That’s exactly what this session is about.
