I became a Chief Information Security Officer without having a college degree. Ask me anything!
EDIT: Thanks for everyone who participated and/or reached out on LinkedIn, I appreciate the opportunity and hopefully you folks got something helpful out of it. Anyway, prolonged social interaction even through a screen makes me nervous as shit so I'm out of here for now. You can find me shitposting on LI if you want to catch up there. Stay Dangerous!
My name is Jonathan Rau and despite not having a college degree or certifications I became a CISO with only 5 years of private sector cybersecurity experience largely spearheaded by open-source work and challenging industry norms. Ask me anything about getting into the (cloud security) industry, how to demonstrate your expertise, and on the other side of the equation: how to attract + retain entry-level talent and build world class teams with them.
