Become a Cybersecurity Manager
For techies
If you are an IT guy who thinks about taking on a leading cybersecurity job - regardless whether you’re preparing for your first management position or aiming for an ultimate CISO/CSO role - I can help you understand the key managerial topics:
- what modern organizations really expect from cybersecurity leaders,
- the managerial and strategic skills you should possess,
- how to express your value beyond the professional certifications you might already have,
- how to perform strongly in managerial interviews,
- how to communicate like a business leader, not just a technician (speaking the business language),
- how to build a personal development plan to reach leadership roles (see also Career Progression Map).
My guidance combines real-world leadership experience, industry best practices, and a practical approach.
For managers
If you are a manager aiming to take the cybersecurity path but you are not at home with key technologies and technical concepts, I can guide you through this journey explaining things in a no-nonsense manner using the right examples, primarily but not only in the following areas:
- cryptography fundamentals,
- antimalware protection (desktop vs. server)
- malware analysis,
- IDS vs IPS,
- FW vs WAF,
- IAM, PAM vs PAW vs jump servers,
- DLP, IRM, DRM,
- secure configuration, patching and vulnerability management,
- SIEM - event monitoring, security incident management,
- cybersecurity technical audits (network and web application scanners
- security in the Information System Development Lifecycle,
- hacking, cracking (Kali examples).
For managers and techies
Of course, it is possible and even likely that you will need to deepen your knowledge also in areas that you think to have mastered.
My coaching will help you identify and then fill in any gaps you might have, whether as a manager or as a technical specialist. Believe me, it also happened to me, there is always something to learn, even after years of professional exposure to cybersecurity.
