29. Cyber IRL - LIVE Podcast at AFP re_B00tCMP

Can you name six different careers in cyber security? If not - that's totally ok - it's a mysterious world with unusual roles but let us walk you through a couple with our Cyber In Real Life (IRL) chat. We presented this talk at the Australian Federal Police re_BOOTCMP event, hosted at Fortress Melbourne earlier this year. It was a day filled with activities and talks to show kids what the world of cyber looks like outside of committing cyber crimes! While our audio may not be the best, we still thought it's too good not to share. We also have a very special guest, Nick Scheckenbach, an Executive Director from CyberCX who has built his career through building connections and saying yes to opportunities (and that does include saying yes to being a get away driver in a physical pen test). The result? He now manages a 150 million pipeline, travels the world and works with a team to secure organisations against cyber threats. We hope you like this episode as much as we do!
