Them: Why did you guys get into Cybersecurity? Me: Why not? I’ve spent a good portion of my career split between general staffing and tech recruiting. And when I really think about it, the answer is pretty easy. While I’ve forged some damn good relationships across the board, there was always something that kept me coming back to IT infrastructure and cybersecurity folks. I guess I’ve just always had a huge respect for the “silent professionals” in IT… The ones working endlessly behind the scenes doing everything they can to keep their companies, employees, and customers safe. It’s pretty thankless work… And it’s virtually never ending. You never hear about the hundreds of thousands of threat actors they’re battling every day… Because they have no choice but to focus on being better than the guys on the “other side”. That, paired with how humble and passionate they are about their jobs. That’s why. #cybersecurity professionals…I see you. I thank you. And I got your back 😎
