Think cybersecurity is just “hackers and hoodies”? Think again.
The cyber industry spans analysts, AI architects, policy advisors, red team operators, cloud defenders, digital forensics experts, cyber diplomats — and that’s just the beginning.
The Cyber Workforce Series by Tortora Brayda Institute for Partnerships in AI & Cybersecurity and AUSCF pulls back the curtain on what these roles actually look like.
Every month, a new cyber professional joins us to answer:
- What do you really do?
- How did you get here?
- What skills actually matter?
- What advice would you give someone starting today?
If you’re curious about cyber, considering a pivot, or helping students navigate career options - this series is for you.
