The Power of Cybersecurity

Success Stories

You’re learning something new every single day. I am not joking about that; every day is something incredibly new.

I looked to see what’s really hot in the market, and cybersecurity was on that list. I was a police officer prior; it might seem like an easy transition almost. And thanks to CyberWarrior that really kind of like grasped, they really kind of like pulled me in, learning everything I wanted to.

– Jean Geraldo, Network Security Analyst at Nexum, Inc.

CyberWarrior has given me the opportunity to increase my financial stability.

I started out as a chef, and when the pandemic hit, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was able to find CyberWarrior online and pivot into cybersecurity. CyberWarrior has really given me the opportunity to focus on not only a new career but also to have lots of time to spend with my family and be productive.

– Charles Rabe, Security Analyst Level One at Nexum, Inc.

Don’t give up because it’s all worth it.

I started working within banks, and in banks, you learn a lot about physical security, what to look for, and how to keep others safe.

So, I ended up taking that passion, and I wanted to transfer it to more skills and keep developing, and that’s where the cybersecurity portion came in.

– Ashley Sayre, Associate Cyber Security Analyst.

It seems long in the beginning, but you turn around, and it’s already over.

Before I joined Cyber Warrior Academy, I had recently transitioned from 10 years of active duty military, and I was ready for a change in my career. I wanted a career that gave me more flexibility to work from home, in an office, or a combination.

– Mariel Lee, Desktop Support Rep at Tech Synapse. 

You’re going to learn something new every day, and you gotta keep going.

I was a guitar player in the Army Band for 15 years. When I decided to get out, I didn’t know what to do, honestly, but at the Army Transition Assistance Program, they talked a lot about cybersecurity.

So, I did a lot of research and luckily found CyberWarrior.

– Gunnar K., Cyber Analyst Team Lead at PeopleTech Inc.

I think that CyberWarrior Academy provided a foundation to build on with the certification training and also brought in all the Subject Matter Experts to provide their experience, tips, and advice on how to perform in security.

If I hadn’t had CyberWarrior Academy training, I think it would have been much more difficult to get the job that I am in now. I do think that the training and advocacy were pivotal in my career.
