Case Studies from Cyber Security Professionals

Inspiring stories from individuals already working in the cyber security profession.

We have created a new webinar series, 'Role Model Stories' which showcases diverse professionals from various backgrounds who have successfully navigated their way into the world of cyber security. Each session features an individual who has made an impact in the industry, sharing their personal journey, challenges, and triumphs along the way. From overcoming obstacles such as lack of resources or non-traditional career paths to securing pivotal roles in cyber security, these stories are meant to inspire and motivate others to pursue careers in this critical field.

Whether you're just starting out, looking for a career change, or seeking guidance on advancing in the field, our 'Role Model Stories' offers practical advice, personal anecdotes, and inspiration to help you take the next step in your cyber security journey.

On this page we'll feature the recordings of past webinars but don't forget to check out our events page for upcoming webinars.

The routes into cyber security are so varied, as is shown in the number of different journeys in these role model case studies.
