🎓✏️ Cortida’s Alex Roxon, Inspires Bennett Memorial Students with Insights on Cyber Security Careers ✏️🎓 We’re proud of our Info Sec Cyber Consultant, Alex, who recently took the initiative to speak to Year 12 students at Bennett Memorial about the exciting opportunities in cyber security. Alex’s talk was driven by his passion for helping young people navigate their future careers, and he shared his own journey to illustrate that career paths don’t need to be perfectly planned from the start. He also highlighted that cyber security is a diverse field with roles for both technically minded individuals and those with other strengths. This opportunity arose from a casual conversation between Alex and two teachers he knows from his local football team. Eager to contribute, Alex prepared a slide deck aimed at showing students that their university choices don’t have to define their entire careers. Despite some technical challenges—poor internet and a hot computer room—Alex’s talk was a great success. The students were highly engaged, asking numerous thoughtful questions, and the feedback from the school was overwhelmingly positive. One teacher even noted that Alex was one of the best speakers they’ve had. At Cortida, we’re committed to not only advancing the field of cyber security but also empowering the next generation of professionals. We’re thrilled that Alex’s experience at Bennett Memorial has sparked a desire to continue mentoring and sharing his knowledge in the future.

58K+ Instagram | Ethical Hacker, Author, Trainer, and Founder @HackersUnskool, Building a hackers community📈
✅ After completing the online course, students are left with no understanding of the difference between cyber security and ethical hacking.🤔 🧑🏫 On 9th December, I had the privilege of delivering a Cybersecurity workshop at Student Tribe, where I had a fascinating encounter with a motivated student eager to kickstart their career in the field. ❓After the session, a student approached me with enthusiasm, expressing that they had recently completed a Cybersecurity course in online and were on the lookout for a job. Intrigued, I inquired about their knowledge and what they had gained from the course. 😱 To my surprise, the student shared their proficiency in offensive tools like web app penetration testing, nmap, and metasploit. It raised a red flag, prompting me to question how they intended to pursue a defensive role with such an offensive skill set. ❌ This encounter highlighted a significant issue in the education sector. Many educational platforms and institutions fail to guide students effectively, often neglecting to explain the fundamental differences between roles in cybersecurity, such as the distinction between Red Team (ethical hacking) and Blue Team (defensive) responsibilities. ✊ I took a moment to emphasize that Cybersecurity is not a one-time course; it's a continuous, lifelong learning process. As the industry evolves, professionals must adapt to new challenges, tools, and techniques to stay ahead of cyber threats. ✅ It's disheartening to hear numerous students proclaiming their completion of a cybersecurity or ethical hacking course, expecting immediate job opportunities. The reality is that staying relevant in this dynamic field requires ongoing dedication to learning and professional development. ✍️ My message to aspiring cybersecurity professionals is clear: embrace the learning process, understand the dynamics of the industry, and stay updated. Cybersecurity is not just a course; it's a commitment to a lifetime of learning and staying one step ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. 🤝 Let's bridge the gap in cybersecurity education and empower the next generation of professionals to thrive in this exciting and challenging field! 💻🛡️ 👇Let me know your thoughts in the comments. #Cybersecurity #Education #LifelongLearning #StudentEmpowerment #student

Security Technologist | AML & Product Security Leader | Trusted Advisor | Innovator | Product security @ Docusign | Keynote Speaker| Mindfulness Promoter
Over the past couple of decades, I have dedicated considerable time to understanding the root causes of software vulnerabilities. And, the experience has convinced me of the essential need for developer security education, particularly when technology and programming languages are first introduced to high school & college students. Here are some key observations I've made: * Security education during new hire orientation sets a high bar, but it's not enough. * Taking a single security class during a bachelor's program is a great introduction, but it falls short. * Cutting-edge security champions programs are excellent for new features and secure product development, but they aren't very effective in addressing the security debt tied to legacy software. So, when should one learn about software security? The answer is: as early as possible, ideally when technology courses are first introduced in a student's academic journey. Security should be an integral part of all tech courses, whether it's a programming language, database, or architecture class. Let's empower the next generation with the skills and knowledge to create secure software from the start, sowing the seeds for future cyber leaders. As part of my commitment to making software security a fundamental aspect of early academic life, on behalf of GradAchiever, I will conduct is a free cyber workshop for high school students. This workshop aims to equip them with the right career and education information, helping to create the cyber leaders of tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/gaGrqg-2 #CyberSecurity #DeveloperEducation #TechEducation #SecureSoftware #CyberAwareness #FutureLeaders #HighSchoolWorkshop #CollegePrep #TechCourses #CyberWorkshop #SecureDevelopment #CareerInTech #EducationForAll #GradAchiever
