SUMMARY:Webinar | From Creative User to Security Pro: My Unscripted Journey into Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar with Adobe\, Melissa will share her unconventional path into the field of cybersecurity\, highlighting the twists and turns that led to her current role. Starting as a media production professional working with Adobe products\, she transitioned from editing footage to safeguarding digital assets. Her journey includes volunteering locally\, fulfilling a lifelong dream to join the Peace Corps\, and discovering a passion for computer security while serving abroad. After returning home\, she gained hands-on IT experience as a technician for a fast-food chain\, pursued a master’s degree\, and envisioned a career with the Department of State. Instead\, an unexpected opportunity brought me full circle\, back to Adobe—this time protecting the very tools she once used. Join Melissa as she explores how curiosity\, adaptability\, and embracing the unexpected shaped her career in cybersecurity\, and how you can carve your own path in the ever-evolving world of tech. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Will you keep trash in your fridge? Learn 5S - A use case of Asset Management.
DESCRIPTION:This workshop event introduces a practical approach to asset management by integrating the principles of the 5S methodology—sort\, set in order\, shine\, standardize\, and sustain—that are commonly used in manufacturing into cybersecurity practices with empathy and respect for all parties involved. \nParticipants will explore how the 5S framework can help identify and categorize critical software and hardware assets\, ensuring that only necessary resources are maintained\, protected\, and optimized. By “sorting” and assessing assets\, organizations can eliminate obsolete or redundant systems\, reducing costs and minimizing potential attack surfaces. “Setting in order” and “shining” will involve organizing and maintaining essential assets to boost operational efficiency. “Standardizing” ensures consistent protection policies across all assets\, while “sustaining” involves ongoing monitoring and updates to keep the system secure. \n  \nPlease register HERE for this event

SUMMARY:WiCyS February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth \nThe daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius\,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching\, business consulting\, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius\, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. \nIn Grit\, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point\, teachers working in some of the toughest schools\, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally\, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. \n“Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned\, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing\, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal\, insightful\, and even life-changing\, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down\, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal). \nRegister HERE
