When Sam Fariborz moved to Australia from Iran, she had been working as an IT manager. While she had plenty of experience and strong technical skills, the move to Australia was challenging, and in this episode Sam discusses some of the barriers to entry she faced. By attending cybersecurity events and reaching out to people on LinkedIn, Sam found mentors and peers who helped progress her career, and today Sam is Cybersecurity Services & Program Manager for Kmart group which employs nearly 50,000 people across Australia and New Zealand. Sam chats with Cole Cornford about how to network effectively, the growth of cybersecurity as a profession in the last couple of decades, the need for greater diversity within the industry, and plenty more.
