Episode Description

Companies looking to strengthen their cybersecurity programs would do well to look toward military veterans who are transitioning to the corporate sector. Veterans come equipped with the necessary experience and a cybersecurity paradigm that sets them up for success in helping protect vital digital assets.

A vital part of that paradigm is the ambiguity of cybersecurity. New technologies keep emerging that need protection by applying security controls. At the same time, cybercriminals constantly change their tactics, exploiting known weaknesses and bypassing common controls.

Both the military and the corporate world also face a dearth of security talent and often have to throw professionals with little experience at the cybersecurity ambiguity challenges. Private companies and public organizations thus need professionals who are accustomed to working under the pressure of ambiguous scenarios with limited resources to support them.
