Most Career Changers Enter Cyber Through the Wrong Door

The Problem

There are more than 3 million people with cybersecurity certifications, yet many still never land cybersecurity roles.

Most did everything they were told: got a certification, applied for roles, watched YouTube, and still feel stuck.

Where It Goes Wrong

  • They picked a highly technical path too early.
  • They paid for certifications before gaining clarity.
  • Their resumes did not speak the language of cybersecurity.
  • They never had a precise, step-by-step roadmap.

In this session, you will see a clearer, more realistic way into cyber.

Why GRC Is Ideal for Career Changers

GRC is the business and governance side of cybersecurity, not technical coding. It is where strong communication, organization, and documentation are in high demand.

What GRC Work Looks Like

  • Updating and reviewing security and compliance policies.
  • Supporting audit requests and gathering evidence.
  • Tracking risk status and remediation steps.
  • Reviewing regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • Communicating risk to leadership and stakeholders.

Who Thrives in GRC

  • People who enjoy structure and documentation.
  • Professionals who think in terms of process and accountability.
  • Those who are comfortable coordinating across teams.
  • Communicators who can explain complex ideas simply.

What You Do Not Need

  • No scripting or coding.
  • No engineering or complex troubleshooting.
  • No building firewalls or deep technical tools.
  • No starting over with a technical degree.

AI Can Support Cyber Jobs, But It Cannot Replace Them

What AI Can Help With

  • Monitoring logs and alerts at scale.
  • Gathering and organizing evidence.
  • Producing draft reports and summaries.
  • Speeding up repetitive technical tasks.

What AI Cannot Take Over

  • Assume accountability for compliance.
  • Make final risk-based decisions.
  • Interpret regulatory and legal requirements in context.
  • Sign off on controls and risk treatment plans.

This is why GRC roles remain high-demand, human-decision-based, and career-secure.
