Alumni Stories - A New Podcast Series

Every story has the power to inspire, educate, and connect. This is a podcast for alumni who want to share their personal journey in Cybersecurity or IT, offering valuable perspectives to help guide others on their own career paths.

This is something we’ve been meaning to get going for some time and we are kicking it off this Friday, March 21st at 1PM EST!

Our first alumni coming on live is Natasha Wettstein!

Natasha is a cybersecurity professional with over four years of experience in the industry. Her journey began in cybersecurity bootcamps, which laid the foundation for her career. She is currently a Threat Intelligence Analyst, and has previously worked as a Cybersecurity Advisor, SOC Analyst, and Security Solutions Engineer. Outside of work, Natasha enjoys ADV motorcycling, skiing, and creating art.

Mark your calendars!

We’re going to aim to do at least 1 of these per month outside of regular streams and content.
