You know roughly where you're headed. Let's make it concrete.
This session is for people who now have a rough idea of where they want to head in cyber security, and need a real plan to get there. Less "what is cyber security", more "here's exactly what to do next": which certifications matter and in what order, how to build demonstrable experience before you've landed a role, and what employers are actually screening for.
This is Session 2 of our free four-part Cyber Careers series. You don't need to have attended Session 1 to follow along — we'll do a quick recap at the start.
