Ep. 35: Hacking Your Way into a Security Career with Nathali Cano

Security Cocktail Hour

People often take a non-traditional path into the field of information security, and Nathali Cano’s journey is one of the most unique we’ve ever encountered. How she became “a social worker that happens to be a cybersecurity engineer” is a fascinating story of a single mom making opportunities for herself out of nothing but hard work and determination, and how she continues to give back to the community. Join us for an episode you’ll want to hear until the end.

What we’re drinking: Margaritas & Chocolate Milk
