❤great interview!

[@THEMAX00000]

I keep reading articles in the news that saying, despite everything companies are simply continuing to cut their cyber security budget. Doesn’t seem like it’s worth all the time and expense to get into a field that will likely not resolved in a job

[@JoeC_aka_PwnerJoe]

Concerns about cybersecurity budget cuts are understandable, yet the demand for cybersecurity professionals is booming due to rising cyber threats and the digital expansion of businesses. Despite some budget adjustments, many companies are increasing their cybersecurity investments, recognizing that the cost of prevention is far lower than the potential losses from a breach. Cybersecurity roles are among the fastest-growing in IT, with a future bright with opportunities!
