How Cyber Work Became a Launchpad for the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Talent

Episode Summary: Chris Sienko spent six years hosting Cyber Work with Infosec, interviewing more than 300 cybersecurity professionals across every imaginable role. But the show wasn’t built for CISOs or executives. It was built for the people trying to get in. In this conversation, Chris shares why he focused on students and early-career professionals, even though most cybersecurity marketing targets buyers, and how that decision shaped everything from guest research to episode structure to long-term growth. If you’re building content inside a cybersecurity company and wondering who you’re actually serving, this episode will challenge you to think bigger than the buying committee.
