I am excited to share with you an accomplishment that I am proud of. Recently, we developed a private Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solution for a partnership project involving our IoT devices. We designed and implemented this solution on Google Cloud, using their Certificate Authority Service. I am thrilled to share that Google has already recognized our implementation and invited me to present it at the Google Next 2024 conference in Las Vegas on April 11th. If anyone from this community is planning to attend the Google Next conference this year, I would love to meet in person and discuss this further.

Hi everyone! I'm Jose, and I'm making the leap from librarianship to cybersecurity. This field fascinates me – it's like a giant puzzle waiting to be solved! You might be surprised, but my library background was surprisingly tech-heavy. We mastered HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, and more. This led to freelance work managing sensitive data across various industries, which ignited my passion for information security. Google's Cybersecurity Certificate was my turning point. I completed the program in January, and now I'm prepping for CompTIA Security+ in May. In the meantime, I'm exploring different cybersecurity specializations through free courses. I recently discovered Nicholas Moy's YouTube channel – his practical approach really clicks with me. That's why I'm here! I'm trying out IriusRisk this weekend. My goal is to connect with experienced cybersecurity professionals. If you have advice on navigating this career change, or just want to share your own journey, please reach out!
