Tackling a Career in Cybersecurity

Fortinet's Training Advancement Agenda (TAA) and NSE Training Institute programs are focused on bridging the cyber skills gap by demystifying and breaking down stereotypes about the field of cybersecurity. Through these initiatives our goal is to educate and bring more underrepresented groups - like women - into a career in cybersecurity. In addition, Fortinet's intern program aims to expose students to opportunities in the dynamic and fast-growing cybersecurity industry.

I had a conversation with two recent interns at Fortinet to get their insights into what attracted them to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers in cybersecurity, what obstacles they have faced, and what they think we can continue to do to help break down perception barriers.

Meet our cybersecurity career interns, Taylor Leslie and Claire Smerdon.
