Webinar | How Non-Linear Careers and Changing Cyber Expectations are Creating New Opportunities for Everyone

A career in cybersecurity rarely follows a straight line. Many professionals navigate “squiggly careers” shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and the reality of balancing professional ambition with real-life responsibilities.
In this WiCyS webinar, Vanguard’s Panna Begum draws from her own non-linear journey—transitioning from property management and business analysis into cybersecurity—to explore the growing importance of global cyber regulations. Panna will break down why these mandates are no longer just for compliance teams or senior leaders, but actively reshape first-line operations by embedding cyber awareness, risk, and accountability into daily decisions.
Attendees will discover how this shifting regulatory landscape creates high-value opportunities for professionals from diverse, non-traditional backgrounds who can translate complexity into practical action.
