Our monthly AMA on r/cybersecurity on Reddit has begun.
Our topic is “I’m a security professional who has worked in and out of Government roles. I can tell you the pros and cons. Ask me anything.”
For this edition, we’ve assembled a panel of security professionals who have worked in both the government and private sector. They’re here to answer your questions about the challenges, trade-offs, and lessons learned from moving between public and private cybersecurity roles.
Please ask questions for our participants here.
Our participants are:
- Matt Conner, (u/SomeCyberGuy), CISO, Second Front Systems
