Career Changing to Cybersecurity in Your 40s and Later

Ever wondered if it's too late to career change into cybersecurity? Throughout this webinar, we tackle that question.

Although, starting over professionally is never easy. Starting over in your 40s seems impossible to most people. All things considered, cybersecurity is a field notorious for its steep learning curve. Also, older job seekers encounter technical gatekeeping and a workforce full of people half your age. Additionally, this presents entirely different challenges for older job seekers looking to change into a cybersecurity career. 

This session takes an unfiltered look at what that transition actually looks like. This webinar discusses the real experience of the speaker including walking away from a senior role to rebuilding from the ground up in a cybersecurity career.

No shortcuts and no sugar-coating. No promises that a six-month tech bootcamp will sort everything out and allow you to successfully career change into cybersecurity. Instead, you'll get an honest account of the mental and professional hurdles that come with being the career-changer in the room: dealing with impostor syndrome, managing burnout, and finding your footing when almost nothing comes naturally at first. We also dig into why the cybersecurity industry stands to benefit from people who take this path, and how the experience you've spent years building is more relevant than you might think.
