How can you impress in a cybersecurity interview?
There are many dimensions to cybersecurity and room for many different talents. While at its core cybersecurity is about mitigating risks through technology, success also requires people with skills in fields like art, history, philosophy, marketing, finance, accounting and business. I can tell you from experience some of the greatest leaders I know in cybersecurity today came from the artistic side of academia. If your background is in a non technical field but you know cybersecurity is where you want to be, don't let anyone stop you. Play to your non-technical strengths and show how you can contribute to the team. But as you do, try to learn what you can about the tech, it will help you communicate with the security world.

Author Bob Gourley, the Director of Intelligence in the first Department of Defense cyber defense organization and lead for cyber intelligence at Cognitio Corp shares lessons from direct contact with adversaries in cyber space in a new book titled “The Cyber Threat”
Understanding the Cyber Threat is critical to preparing your defenses prior to attack and also instrumental in mounting a defense during attack. Reading this book will teach you things your adversaries wish you did not know and in doing so will enhance your ability to defend against cyber attack. The book explores the threat and the role of the emerging discipline of Cyber Intelligence as a way of making threat information actionable in support of your business objectives.
"The insights Bob provides in The Cyber Threat are an essential first step in developing your cyber defense solution."
· Keith Alexander, General, USA (Ret), Former Director, NSA, and Commander, US Cyber Command
"There are no excuses anymore. Trying to run a business without awareness of the cyber threat is asking to be fired. The Cyber Threat succinctly articulates insights you need to know right now."
· Scott McNealy, Co-founder and Former CEO, Sun Microsystems and Chairman Wayin.
"When I’m researching my own books, I always turn to Bob Gourley. I make disasters up. He’s seen them for real. And most important, he knows how to stop them. Read this. It’ll scare you, but also protect you."
· Brad Meltzer, #1 bestselling author of The Inner Circle
"Bob Gourley was one of the first intelligence specialists to understand the complex threats and frightening scope, and importance of the cyber threat. His book can give you the edge in what has emerged as one of the most compelling, mind-bending and fast moving issues of our time."
· Bill Studeman, Admiral, USN (Ret), Former Director, NSA and Deputy Director, CIA

Data Divination: Big Data Strategies
Cengage Learning
Data Divination: Big Data Strategies focuses entirely on strategy, from how to accurately calculate ROI, present a winning business case and empower your workforce from the CEO down, to developing overall and project-specific strategies that actually work.

Beyond the chapters that address specific steps and elements in developing successful big data strategies are ten chapters each dedicated to a specific industry. Those industries are governments; Department of Defense and Intelligence community; security; healthcare; small businesses and farms; energy; transportation; retail; banking, insurance and finance; and manufacturing.
In the chapters dedicated to specific industries, we examine real life use cases and case studies from several angles so you can see what works, what doesn't and why. There are suggestions on what players in those industries should consider doing beyond what they're doing now and in preparation for upcoming changes being wrought by disruptors and industry trends that are already underway. Because so many industries are converging, Bob and I urge you to read about industries other than your own in this book. There are several trends underway now that will impact seemingly unrelated business sectors. You'll find the heads-up on that useful in your own big data works.
This book also mentions tools where necessary but its focus is on big data strategies. It's written primarily for a business audience but is also useful to the more technically inclined in sparking project ideas or in learning about what others/competitors in the same industry are doing with big data.
Finally, if you ever wanted to know the big picture in big data--where projects in 10 different industries ultimately come together in changing our world--you'll catch a great glimpse of it here.Other authorsSee publication -
