What's Entry Level in Cybersecurity?

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series.

We often talk about the contradiction of seemingly entry-level security jobs requiring years of experience. But maybe that's because entry-level jobs don't actually exist.

Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. Joining us this week is our guest Jay Wilson, CISO, Insurity.
