HackUCF - Panel - Careers in Infosec

I was delighted to be invited to be a panel speaker at the University of Central Florida.

HackUCF is UCF's Collegiate Cyber Defense Club. They won the national championship the last three years in a row. It was a great panel with a number of my peers and colleagues to help students understand what it takes to get into information security as a career.
