Just a couple of questions
- How did you get into the field?
- What's the work like in the cyber security field (what is the core elements of the job)?

- I started in cyber security in the Army. I was on a cyber protection team and we deployed to different areas where a cyber attack had occurred. I was actually a motorcycle mechanic and wanted to make a switch.
- The work is fun and challenging. There is always something to learn and it never ends. For a SOC analyst for example they spend a lot of time looking at a SIEM and looking at alerts hoping to find "the bad things". We would spend a lot of time working on tools to make our work easier and make it easier to find cyber attacks. Also we did a lot of practicing and exercises because if you do not have an cyber attack its hard to get better at finding one.
