Program Chair
I manage the Cybersecurity Management and Policy academic program.
Customer Service -- students, faculty, staff. My success depends on helping others achieve their goals. Project Management -- making sure that courses and curriculum are developed and delivered on schedule, at the required level of quality, and within the resources available to me. Product Design, Delivery, and Management -- overseeing the content of courses in cybersecurity with a management and / or policy emphasis (or both). Quality Management -- assuring the delivery of high quality courses.
Here's the first step for everyone
Learn to use Windows and / or Linux -- learn how the operating systems work. Add scripting in Python or some other programming language (Java, C++, assembly language). If you can write working code and can understand how your computer actually works ... someone will be willing to give you a chance to break into cybersecurity. This is especially true if also you earn the Network+ and or Security+ certifications.
