Episode description

New episode drop! This week Chloe Burton joins us to talk about her journey from IT Help Desk to Head of Detection Engineering.

George K and George A talk to Chloe about:

  • How she used a foray into Splunk to learn and launch her career
  • Why "more alerts" doesn't equal better security
  • Her views on consulting as a career accelerator in cyber
  • How she looks for and mentors new talent

If you're tired of the "more alerts = more security" mindset or wondering how to break into cybersecurity from a non-traditional background, this episode is for you.
