Cybersecurity Talent: What's Your Story?




We at Pythia Cyber focus on cybersecurity talent. It's one of our core areas of expertise.

And so we have a question for you: why did you go into cybersecurity leadership?

Was it the adulation, the money, the reverence and awe you get from others? Was it the money? Was it 'your turn' to be the leader?

Those are all reasonable, normal rationales to go into management, and they work for many people. But -- what about you?

Did you go into cybersecurity leadership because... you thought the tech was so cool, you wanted to do it at a higher level? you are fascinated with everything to do with cybersecurity?

Those are 'rage to master' answers, and they are powerful. But -- what about you?

Did you go into cybersecurity leadership because... you wanted to help people? you wanted to work with people at a higher level of leadership? your identity was stolen and you're on a mission to ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else?

Those are 'it's about the people' answers, and they are important because we all work in a social context. But -- what about you?

Not everyone knows why they went into leadership. Maybe you don't have a reason, really. But having awareness of your motivations is important as you plan out why you go to work to lead every day. 

Your leadership "why" is your passion. If you have no passion, you have no mission. 

If you know why, you can work through "how" to be successful. 

Be successful. Ask us how we can help you define your passion for leadership.
