Welcome back to The Cyber Revolution Podcast!

In this inspiring episode, Adam Hewitt, CEO of Cyber Revolution, sits down with Robin, a seasoned HR professional who successfully pivoted to cybersecurity after a 15+ year career.

Robin shares her remarkable journey from HR to cybersecurity, including:

How she discovered cybersecurity through a random Instagram ad that sparked an immediate connection

Landing her dream role as an Industry Engagement Lead at a not-for-profit organization in the critical infrastructure space
How she leveraged her transferable skills from HR to succeed in a non-technical cybersecurity role
Her future aspirations in cyber threat intelligence and insider threat management

Robin's Top 3 Tips for Career Changers

Perseverance: Be prepared for roadblocks and rejections, but stay committed to pushing through
Embrace continuous learning: Ensure you enjoy learning, as cybersecurity requires ongoing education and adaptation
Join the community: Immerse yourself in the cybersecurity network, attend events with a buddy, and connect with professionals who are willing to help newcomers
