Let’s understand Why..

 Building blocks of Cybersecurity
Defence in Depth or Layered Security

Cybersecurity Framework CIA Triad

As military professionals , we
understand and appreciate these
basic building blocks of Security,
All we need to do is apply these
concepts from physical world to
the Virtual world.
 Meaning of Cyber
: of, relating to, or involving computers or computer networks (such as the Internet)

Summary – Whilst this picture indicates hierarchy of various terminologies used, generally
CYBERSECURITY means covers every aspect is covered.
 If you look at the Security Organisation of any Corporate, it looks very similar to a typical Security
formation that we can all appreciate. Only difference is that the roles are on Cyber or networks instead
of physical security scenario.
Now that we have established that
#Cybersecurity is the Right Career Choice
for Military veterans!

Let’s look at Challenges in #Cybersecurity

Hiring & Career Management
- Corporates & Industry perspective
- Veterans & Professionals perspective
 Challenges for Industry

 Acute shortage of skilled professionals

 Most Security billets occupied by IT dept professionals
 Lack of Awareness of Senior Leadership & HR
 Job Specifications not very clear
 Learning curve is very steep (Very Long time for learning & settling)
 Senior roles in Security too busy, no time to train newbies
 High Attrition rate of trained professionals (# 1 biggest problem)

Skilled and trained professionals who will

start work from Day 1
 Challenges for Veterans & Professionals

 Lack of awareness (# 1 biggest problem)

 Very broad and deep Subject
 No formal training path or University programs
 No fixed learning path
 MANY different starting points and entry points
 Dilemma on WHERE TO START?
 Too many Certifications? But don’t know what to choose!

Bottomline! Cybersecurity Learning

is a Journey, not just a course
