Are certifications worth the time, cost, and effort? In this WiCyS webinar, Dell will bring together two cybersecurity professionals to share how credentials like CISSP, PMP, CRISC, and others have shaped their career paths, opened doors, and built their confidence and credibility.
The panelists bring experience across product security, vulnerability management, security risk, and program leadership. They’ll discuss how they chose which certifications to pursue, how those credentials have been applied on the job, and what they’d tell others considering the same path.
The session closes with an open Q&A, so come ready with your questions about certifications and career growth.
