About this podcast
2 Cyber Chicks is an inclusive cybersecurity podcast designed to educate and break the stereotypes of cybersecurity professionals. We will be discussing the “tough” topics that come along with being a woman in this field while providing life hacks on how to handle burnout, networking, and goal-setting.
Our mission is to cast a net to an inclusive audience and provide a safe place for discussion. Guests will include leading professionals in the field, providing real-life insight and demystifying some of the assumptions of the cyber world. We understand that cybersecurity is a journey and there are other aspects to entering into this field and pivoting once in the field. We want to cover it all!
Our primary focus will be students, transitioning professionals, or cyber security professionals that are eager to level up in their career, however, the content we put out is great for anyone eager to learn more about the cybersecurity industry.
