A Career in Cybersecurity?
A Career in Cybersecurity?
Do your research first by looking at possibe career pathways and get familiar with which cybersecurity roles that may spark your interest. The more research, you do before picking a cybersecurity training program, the better prepared and focus you will be. If you can vividly visualize yourself in a particular role, down to what you'd look like, where you'd be working, and what you'd be doing, this becomes a future memory. If you can see yourself in a particular role, you'll have more success in achieving and becoming that which you seek to be.

Professional Organizations
Professional Organizations
Most Professional Associations have student memberships that are either free or extremely discounted , just use your student email. Reasons to join:
Networking - Once you become a member of a professional association, join your local chapter and network with local members
Training - Most professional associations offer free training, often for CPE Credit, some offer a structured training towards a certification.
Resources - Get access to white papers, webinars, conferences, job boards and more!
Cybercrime Magazine List of Industry Associations - Follow them on social media, they provide great blog content.
ISC^2 - I joined as a student member for free, but to be an official member you'll have to earn a certification. Looking forward to the Associate SSCP certification. My local chapter offers CPE training once a month and the members of this organization tend put the Pro in Professionals.
ISACA - Local chapters usually meet once a month for training that earns CPE credit.. They have a robust training programs toward industry recognized certifications. Training are a bit pricey but not SANS pricey. They also provide free and discounted white papers to members. I highly recommend joining, especially for students with little to know experience . Once you become a member, get some volunteer experience by becoming a social media advocate.
ISSA - Wasn't impressed with the $50 student membership that provided less value than some of the other ones on this list. My local chapter felt like it was just going through the motions and didn't do enough to create an engaging community.
IAPP - If you join ISSA, you can join IAPP free for a year. Like ISSA, I wasn't impressed with my local chapter.
OWASP - Most members are app developers interested app security. My local chapter had local meetings once a month for CPE credit.
Sans - Join as a student and sign up for their email list as they provide free online training for CPE credit and offer some portions of the super expensive training for free throughout the year.
ICMCP - The International Consortium of Minority Cybersecurity Professionals mission is "Achieving the consistent representation of women and minorities in cybersecurity through programs designed to foster recruitment, inclusion and retention – one person at a time."
WiCyS - Women in Cybersecurity's is where the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in cybersecurity happens. My favorite one on this list because the local and global chapters do a great job of building a sense of community. They partners with other local and national organizations to help advance the presence and influence of women in cybersecurity. In my local affiliate (similar to chapter), I am part of the Board of Directors. In this leadership position I was the Secretary of the Board, and now I am the San Diego Affiliate's Marketing Director.

Network Chuck Featured Me in a Video!
Network Chuck is a network engineer turned YouTuber. I've been following his YouTube channel and LinkedIn since I started the Bachelors of Cybersecurity and Networking program at Independence University. I found this channel and post to be informative, entertaining, and best of all motivating.
One day he posted on LinkedIn, looking or volunteers so he could do a LinkedIn Profile page critique. The replies on the post must’ve hundreds. I didn't think he was going to pick mine. Especially if I didn't volunteer. I mean how can you win if you don't play? Right? I was teaching a professional development course, remotely from home and I was showing my students how to use LinkedIn then all a sudden, I started getting an I don't usually high volume of notifications. The messages were from people I've never met, mostly from the computer networking field, congratulating and wanting to know more about me in a recruiter type of way.
It was pretty cool because network check was reviewing critiquing my profile while I was on LinkedIn showing my students LinkedIn, and I thought it was kind of awesome that my students were witnessing what was happening as it added to my credibility as a LinkedIn user.
