EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING
WITHIN UNITED TO CLOSE
OPPORTUNITY DIVIDE AND EUROPE
IS SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF THAT
I'M ACTUALLY STARTED MENTORING
WITH THE RAP YEARS AGO BEFORE
THERE WAS EVEN A PARTNERSHIP
AND IT'S BEEN INSPIRING JUST TO
SEE
THIS EVOLUTION IN GROWTH IN THE
WE'VE GOT ON TO SPONSOR
INTERNSHIPS FOR SO MANY
STUDENTS MAY COME IN AND THEY
REALLY PROVIDE. SO MUCH
IMMEDIATE VALUE WHEN THEY COME
IN WITH SO MUCH HUNGER AND SO
MUCH TENACITY AND THEY REALLY
LEARN AND CONTRIBUTE A LOT OF
WIND UP GRANTING $3
AN IMPACT GRANTS TO AT 3
DIFFERENT YET LOCATIONS WHICH I
WAS SUPER EXCITING AND SUPER
IMPACT EVEN PARTNERING WITH OUR
MILLENNIAL BUSINESS RESOURCE
GROUP THAT THEY REALLY STEPPED
UP TO CREATE A MENTORSHIP
PROGRAM TO REALLY BRING THE
STUDENTS AND HELP THEM
ACCLIMATE TO THAT WE
ALSO HAVE ANOTHER REALLY IS
THAT WHERE OUR EMPLOYEES GOT
TOGETHER AND THEY WROTE
THESE MOTIVATIONAL A QUOTE AN
INSPIRATIONAL CLOSE TO GO OUT
TO THE STUDENTS TO HELP THEM
PREPARE FOR A LAUNCHING THEIR
CAREERS
AND SO YOU KNOW LONG STORY
SHORT NO MATTER HOW BIG OR
SMALL AS SOME OF THESE
INITIATIVES ARE THEY REALLY
MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR
THE STUDENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
THAT BOTH EUROPE AND UNITED
ABLE TO COME TOGETHER AND
PROVIDE REALLY MAKES A
DIFFERENCE A YEAH, TOTALLY IT'S
INCREDIBLE STAFF AND OMAR BUT
TO GET YOUR THE FASTING STORE
BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY QUIT YOUR
JOB AND TOOK A BREAK FROM
SCHOOL JUST TO FULLY COMMIT TO
OUT
TO EUROPE.
>> SO I WAS A PROGRAM REALLY
IMPACTED YOUR CAREER PATH AND
TO WHERE YOU'RE
AT TODAY.
>> YEAH, DEFINITELY SAW I WAS
WORKING AS CASHIER AND I WAS
GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE AND I
WAS A THE FULL TIME FOR BOTH
AND I WAS STRUGGLING OUST
REALLY REALLY HARD AND THEN I
CAME
ACROSS EUROPE AT ITS HEART IT'S
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE AT THE
BEGINNING. BUT I KNEW IT WAS A
HAND UP NOT A HANDOUT SO THEY
PROFFERED ALL THE RESOURCES AND
I SAID IT'S PUT IN
THE WORK. SO I DON'T I DON'T
NEED ANY DISTRACTIONS AND I
COULD BOTH MY JOB AND IT TOOK A
BREAK FROM SCHOOL TO FULLY
FOCUS ON MY CYBERSECURITY UP
PROFESSIONAL AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I DID
FAR FROM ONE YEAR AND 365 DAYS
I WENT FROM WORKING AS A
CASHIER THE DOLLAR TO WORKING
AT PROTECTING A FORTUNE
100 COMPANY. I HAD ALL THE
CERTIFICATION THAT COULD BE AND
HELP ME UP
TREMENDOUSLY RIGHT FINANCIALLY
UP AND I PUT A PROFESSIONAL
BRAND AND MY CAREER GROWTH AND
I'M NOT THE SAME PERSON ALICE
BACK MUCH HOW MUCH BETTER
IT MUCH.
>> CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT THE
IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING UP THAT
NEXT GENERATION OF CYBER
SECURITY EXPERTS BY WORKING
WITH ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOU'RE
OUT YET.
>> ABSOLUTELY SO THE
CYBERSECURITY INDUSTRY RIGHT
NOW IS FACING A HUGE TALENT
SHORTAGE RIGHT THERE SEVERAL
MILLION MORE JOBS AND OUR
EXPERTS TO SELL THEM.
AND SO WORKING WITH
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE EUROPE
BECOME IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THEY'RE ABLE TO BRING IN THESE
YOUNG ADULTS AND REALLY TEACH
THEM THE SKILLS THAT THEY NEED
NOT JUST A TECHNICAL SKILLS,
BUT ALSO THE BUSINESS GOES IN
THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO REALLY
GET INTO THAT BUSINESS
ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDE THAT
IMPACT
VERY QUICKLY BUT THEN UP
ANOTHER ANGLE TO THAT IS THAT
THE CYBER ATTACKERS WHO ARE
COMING AT ALL OF THESE
ORGANIZATIONS COME FROM SO MANY
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD
RIGHT AND DIVERSITY IS
IMPORTANT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT AS WE BUT OUR
WORKFORCE, WE BUILD ONE THAT
HAS THAT SAME GLOBAL
PERSPECTIVE RIGHT IN ORDER TO
GET CREATIVE IN COMBAT. THESE
ATTACKS AND SO WE TAKE THAT
VERY SERIOUSLY ACROSS THE
INDUSTRY. THE SCENE.
YOU KNOW A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
MINORITIES AND WOMEN MADE UP
ABOUT 5 TO 10% OF THE SIDE
SECURITY INDUSTRY TODAY WE'VE
MADE HUGE PROGRESS IT'S ABOUT
25 HOUSE WITHIN UNITED WOMEN
AND MINORITIES MAKE UP 50% OF
OUR WORKFORCE AND SO THAT'S
ALMOST UNHEARD OF IN
TODAY'S INDUSTRY. IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SUPER
PROUD OF AND IT'S SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
IT TAKES A LOT OF DELIBERATE
EFFORT AND A LOT OF COMMITMENT
AND WORK FROM SO MANY PEOPLE
WITHIN
OUR ORGANIZATION. BUT ALSO WITH
PARTNERING ORGANIZATION THANK
YOU HAVE THAT BECOMES
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO
BUILDING THAT THAT PIPELINE
THAT WE NEED YET TOTALLY AND
OMAR WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
SKILLS THAT MAYBE YOU LOVE
AND IN EUROPE THAT HAVE
TRANSLATED INTO A LOT OF THE
DAY TODAY SUCCESS THAT YOU HAVE
RIGHT NOW, YEAH, DEFINITELY S
CHRISTINE MENTIONED HAS TO BE
THOSE BUSINESS SKILLS IN THE
SOFT SKILLS.
>> I WAS IN SCHOOL AND YOU
DON'T GO SOUTH SCHOOLS THERE
AND YOU LEARN THE TECHNICAL
ASPECTS, BUT YOU DON'T TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THE DIRECTORS
WHO DON'T LEARN HOW TO GIVE A
AND THAT REALLY MADE ME AS A
DISTINGUISHED COMING IN A LOT
OF THE SOUTH BECAUSE HE LEARNED
AS
AS YOU GO ON TO YOUR CAREER.
SO WHEN THEY SEE PROFESSION
ALREADY HAVING THAT KIND OF
MASTER NET AND WAS
HIGHLY IMPRESSED. AND THAT'S
THE REALLY THE SAME WHICH MEANS
THAT IN TURN SAYING HEY THIS
PERSON IS ALREADY ACTING UP AT
ANNAPOLIS THIS FILM WAS SHOT
THEN AND SHOW THE REST OF US
ASIDE GOT ALONG WITH MY
CO-WORKERS I WAS ABLE TO GET
HIS PRESENTATIONS I GOT HIGH
LEVEL OF VISIBILITY FROM
LEADERSHIP BECAUSE THEY WERE
HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE THOSE SKILLS
THAT I AND THE 6 MONTHS OF
TRAINING AND EUROPE.
>> WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU HAVE
FOR ANYONE ELSE TRYING TO
PURSUE A CAREER
IN CYBERSECURITY.
>> I WANT TO SAY IT USE ALL
YOUR RESOURCES, THERE'S SO MANY
OTHER I GOT MENTORS FROM
TWITTER I HAVEN'T WRITTEN
LINKED IN. TAKE THE FIRST SHOT
AT HONESTLY THE WAY I STARTED
WAS I WANT TO READ IT AND I
JUST LOOKED UP A HOMICIDE TIME

PEOPLE OUT THERE AND THE FEEL
THAT SO BRAND NEW AND SO
FRIENDLY. THEY'RE HAPPY TO
HELP YOU AND EVENTUALLY THE
LONG RUN THEY BEEN WILLING TO
GIVE YOU A AND EVEN TO THIS
DAY, NICE UP A NEW MENTORS FOR
KOREAN MANAGERS. MY MY TEAM AND
EVEN OUTSIDE OF THEM, I'M
ALWAYS ASKED FOR HELP AND NEVER
BE AFRAID TO TRY
THAT'S THE BIGGEST ONE IS
FARTHER AFIELD INVOLVED SO FAST
AND EVERY DAY YOU'RE SO ALWAYS
BE OPEN WITH
THAT MIND.
>> AND CHRISTIE WILL HAVE ABOUT
A MINUTE OR SO LEFT UNITED ALSO
RECENTLY LAUNCHED A CYBER
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM TO TELL OUR
VIEWERS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
GOAL
FOR THAT.
>> YEAH, SURE THE GOAL IS TO
REALLY GET MORE STUDENTS ACCESS
TO CYBERSECURITY AND US TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT IT I HAPPENED
TO BE TALKING TO
A STUDENT. AT AN EVENT WAY BACK
WHEN AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE
IT'S GREAT DOES QUEENS TOGETHER
WITH HIS
FRIENDS AND DRIVEN ALL THE WAY
FROM RHODE ISLAND TO ATLANTA TO
ATTEND THIS EVENT TO LEARN MORE
AND I THOUGHT WHEN AIRLINE WE
CAN HELP PEOPLE GET FROM A TO B
AND REALLY EXPERIENCED THAT AND
SO I WOULD START OUT AS A PLAN
TO GET FOR STUDENTS THERE THE
NEXT YEAR
TURNED INTO THIS PROGRAM.
WE'RE ABLE TO LIVE WITH THE
HELP OF SO MANY DIFFERENT A
PARTNER SO MANY PEOPLE WITHIN
UNITED AND THIS YEAR WE'VE GOT
30 PEOPLE TO THAT EVENT WE PLAN
TO EXPAND THAT EVEN MORE
