🚫 Cybersecurity Myth Monday

Myth: Cybersecurity is only about hacking.
Fact: Hacking is just one piece of a much bigger picture.

When people hear β€œcybersecurity,” hacking is often one of the first things that comes to mind. But behind the scenes, there’s a lot more happening to keep our digital world secure.

Cybersecurity professionals work across areas like cloud security, threat intelligence, incident response, identity and access management, risk management, security operations, and more.

Each area plays a different role, but they all work toward the same goal: protecting the people, systems, networks, and data we rely on every day. πŸ›‘οΈ

❌ Cyber Myth Monday: Do you need a computer science degree to work in cybersecurity?

Not necessarily.

While a Computer Science or Information Technology degree can provide a strong foundation, it's not the only path into the field. Many cybersecurity professionals come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds.
Today, many employers value a combination of:
πŸ”Ή Industry certifications
πŸ”Ή Hands-on experience
πŸ”Ή Practical technical skills
πŸ”Ή A commitment to continuous learning

The right path depends on the role you're pursuing. Whether you're interested in security operations, cloud security, governance, or ethical hacking, there are multiple ways to build the knowledge and experience employers are looking for.
