Description

Gabriel Agboruche (@ICS_Gabe) is a senior ICS and OT cybersecurity consultant, helping organizations solve their most challenging industrial control security problems. And that was a mouthful, but that's what he does. His journey's unique one, and almost didn't happen.
Notes

Gabe was a math whiz in the Detroit Public school system
During college, he had some unique experiences as an African American, one of which was due to him being the top of his class
Gabe was an electrical engineer working at a nuclear facility, then #Stuxnet happened
The demand for cybersecurity skills combined with his experience and love for growth paved the way for where he is today.

Quotes

"All these systems are air-gapped by regulatory guidance."
"I'm here for my education. I'm going to get this education. And not even necessarily prove this person wrong, but I'm going to be here and do what I have to do in order to get where I desire to be."
"He's like, wow, you're the first black guy that I have ever seen in person."
"I almost rushed with him for one (a fra)."
" I saw that I would gain a greater exposure to a lot more technologies within my field. I get to see different plants. I get to touch different areas."

Interviews with people who have transitioned and got jobs in #infosec and #cybersecurity so you can learn and be inspired from their experience. There is no linear path into the field of Information Security, so the hope is that you will resonate with at least one of the guests. Some of my guests were teachers, paralegals, librarians, military vets, developers, and IT help desk techs (to name a few) before transitioning. Also featuring "spoof" ads poking fun at the industry.
