About this talk

Meet five women (a moderator and four panelists) that would be stinking rich if they had a nickel for every time someone asked them if they needed a computer science degree for a career in cybersecurity. Yes, computer science degrees are sought after, but there are so many other roles, technical and not, that exist in cybersecurity companies that we need to talk about. This panel of women in Sales and Marketing from Fortinet, a leader in cybersecurity, will discuss their own career paths that brought them to where they are today. They will talk about what skills they look for on their teams and what makes a person stand out in this field. They’ll explore potential career paths they are considering and the best ways they have seen to transition into certain departments. Some of these may surprise you! Join the discussion to learn about the exciting career paths in cyber, for both the technical and non-technical crowd.
