Hello everybody my name is Marcus Schwab and I've just finished the

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.880
Accelerate course from the business of cyber hosted by Tom Albert. I found this

3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.680
course to be immensely valuable as I look to break into the cybersecurity

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:18.680
industry and begin my new career. I have over 10 years of active duty

5
00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:22.940
experience in the United States Navy and Tom and his team at the business of

6
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:27.160
cyber have really helped me gain a crystal clear picture of how to leverage

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.840
my experience from the military and translate that into success within the

8
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.360
cyber domain. Tom Albert has decades of experience and he does a phenomenal job

9
00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:41.920
sharing what he's learned over the course of his various careers jam packed

10
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:42.200
into

11
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.480
six weeks in the Accelerate program. Tom and his team cover everything from the

12
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:52.770
foundations of the cyber industry, cyber industry terminology and vernacular,

13
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:53.280
how

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.160
to communicate with the various stakeholders and executives but more

15
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:02.640
importantly what the C suite level executives value and tend to focus on.

16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.720
Tom provides what we in the military like to call the ground truth and

17
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:11.280
explains these topics in a clear concise manner that's easy to understand

18
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.720
and apply whether you have a background in cyber or not. Since completing this

19
00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.240
course I now have a clear understanding of exactly how to leverage my talents

20
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.600
and experiences to be a value add at any cyber security organization. Whether

21
00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:28.800
you

22
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:32.720
have a background in cyber or you're just breaking into it the business of

23
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:33.080
cyber

24
00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:38.040
Accelerate course is a great jump-off point. Tom Albert is a wealth of

25
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:38.440
knowledge

26
00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:43.200
and his insights will help you decrease the learning curve and get up to speed

27
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.480
very quickly so that you can be a value add in the cyber domain. I'm excited to

28
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.800
take these lessons from Accelerate and the business of cyber and start applying

29
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:59.080
them as I move forward into my new career. I hope all of you will take this

30
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:03.720
course learn as much as I have and continue moving forward into your new

31
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.040
career. See ya.
