In this talk, I'll give you an insider’s look at what the day-to-day reality of working in cybersecurity really entails. We'll dive into the typical tasks you’ll face, from scoping and executing the test to long-term security strategy. I’ll also share how to bridge the gap between technical jargon and business language, making complex concepts understandable for non-technical stakeholders. Of course, we can’t forget about reporting—a crucial yet often challenging part of the job. I’ll discuss the complexities of crafting reports that not only communicate risks but also drive action. Along the way, we'll touch on the unique challenges posed by timelines and the tools we rely on. What makes this talk unique is my perspective from both sides of the fence: working on an internal team and as a consultant. This experience allows me to highlight the key differences and offer insights into how each role shapes your approach to cybersecurity.
