Everything You Wanted to Know About Cyber – But Were Afraid to Ask

Last January, I had the incredible opportunity to speak at Hackeriot Extra 2025, an inspiring event dedicated to helping women enter and thrive in the cybersecurity world.

In my talk, "Everything You Wanted to Know About Cyber – But Were Afraid to Ask," I discussed why this topic matters so much to me personally. Usually, my talks focus on sophisticated threats and how to defend critical systems, but this event gave me the chance to step back, clearly explain the basics, and guide newcomers to find their place in the cyber community—beyond stereotypes and clichés.

We explored key questions together:

• What exactly is cybersecurity?

• What roles exist within this diverse industry?

• How can you find the cybersecurity career path that best fits your skills and passions?
