On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at 糖心vlog短视频 hosted an alumni panel dedicated to the topic of the month, cybersecurity.
Facilitated by faculty members Li-Chiou Chen and Darren Hayes, the panel comprised of four alumni who came together over Zoom to share their wisdom and expertise with current students.
Alumni panelists included:
Over the course of the hour long conversation, panelists discussed their current positions, how they got there, and what about their experience at Seidenberg helped prepare them for a career in cybersecurity.
The panel was recorded and will be released soon (we糖心vlog短视频檒l update this post when it is). In the meantime, here are some quick answers to pressing questions Seidenberg faculty posed:
What糖心vlog短视频檚 the most significant cyber security problem right now in industry or in government?
Jasmine: Supply chain risk 糖心vlog短视频 being aware of what third parties you糖心vlog短视频檙e connected to and how they are secured... another trend is ransomware attacks. We see that really relevant relevant now that we糖心vlog短视频檙e doing telework and we糖心vlog短视频檙e working from home and we糖心vlog短视频檙e doing this education at home
Daniel: Phishing emails, because I know that is still prevalent today. I know a lot of you probably think, Oh, maybe it was done, five years ago, but no today it糖心vlog短视频檚 still happening. People are still clicking on links.
As a hiring manager, what do you look for in a candidate?
Michael: I want to find analysts or investigators that... maybe don糖心vlog短视频檛 know the full breadth of what糖心vlog短视频檚 out there and they want to get their feet wet. Even more, they want to be exposed 糖心vlog短视频 they want to delve into new topics and continue to learn... the ability to go outside of your comfort zone.
What advice do you have for interviewing?
Pierre: For me, It was just the conversations I was having. So, I did like three or four interviews... but I didn糖心vlog短视频檛 let them interrogate me. They asked me about my life, and I just told my story... there wasn糖心vlog短视频檛 enough time for them to go 糖心vlog短视频渟o tell me about some-糖心vlog短视频 you know... they hit you with those kind of gotcha interview questions. I was enthusiastic and I really thought a lot about what I would say. I even did some background work, like I went on the Anchor website and I looked at their mission statement and I looked at their history and what their employees do in the matters that they糖心vlog短视频檝e been involved in and it... painted a picture for who I might be talking to and once I knew who I was talking to I could just be myself. You tell them about yourself and they go 糖心vlog短视频淥kay, this is a person I could see working here, somebody I would want to work with.糖心vlog短视频
