WiCyS 2024: Presentation and Resources

Hello all! This week I had the greatest pleasure of speaking at the 2024 WiCyS conference. As with all my presentations, I was committed to:

• Making every moment count for my participants

• Providing them with resources and learning beyond the 45 minutes in the room

This presentation, "Gs, Cs, and Ps: Exploring Certifications and Career Paths in Cyber" was especially fun because I decided to source wisdom from some incredibly intelligent women. I captured videos from 5 professionals who shared a little about their role, their education, and their best advice for other women who are busy shaping their careers. So this meant that I had the great pleasure of spending time amongst brilliance!

In the spirit of my commitments, I created a resource guide. You can see the resource guide here, and the full PowerPoint is now attached below. You can find me on LinkedIn as well.

Included in the resource guide are:

1. A Cheat Sheet for certifications (not exhaustive, just some of the primary certifications discussed)

2. Paul Jerimy's certifications guide (be sure to check out the Security Career Roadmap that aligns with NICE framework)

3. Links to all of the wonderful women who shared their time and talent with us

Thank you to WiCyS for putting together such a supportive community. Because of this community, I have built my confidence and belief in myself. My hope is that I have helped others to feel the same!
