Segment 1 - Interview with Helen Patton: Introducing the Cybersecurity Canon
Did you know that there’s a hall-of-fame for cybersecurity books? Over the past decade, the Cybersecurity Canon has published reviews on dozens of cybersecurity books and established a hall of fame. Hall of fame books are defined as titles that all cybersecurity professionals should read - a great short list for those new to the field and overwhelmed by choices.
Helen Patton, co-founder and Chief of Staff for the Cybersecurity Canon joins us to tell us all about the Canon, how it came to be, and its transformation into a more visible and active organization.
We’ll also discuss Helen’s own book, “Navigating the Cybersecurity Career Path”, and an upcoming second book she’s working on as well!
