Careers in Cybersecurity – (ISC)² Toronto Chapter Event

For the targeted audience of students, recent grads and professionals who want to pursue careers in Cybersecurity, our (ISC)² Toronto Chapter Team organized yet another successful event: Careers in Cybersecurity – Carving Your Path to Success. This success was made possible in partnership with Grant Thornton LLP Canada who graciously provided us with the venue as well as refreshments for the event.

This event was kicked-off with a presentation from the Chapter Team and the professionals from Grant Thornton while covering the topics like how to get in and different domains/flavors of Cybersecurity; how to develop the core and soft skills targeting for the leadership positions over time; mentoring and networking; and internship and other opportunities in this field. The presentation was followed by a highly-interactive and fruitful panel discussion with Jeff Clark (Director, Cyber Security Incident Response, Forensics & Governance at CIBC), Ferris Adi (Senior Security & Compliance Manager at Rogers), Ayesha Khan (Business Communication Expert), and Victoria Granova (Chapter Team Member and Senior Information Security Consultant at CIBC) who provided some valuable insights for the hard-skills, soft-skills, and the attitude required for the success in this field.
