Thanks to everyone who joined our first Live Q&A of 2025 to ask questions about making a career change into cybersecurity!
Here were our takeaways:
- Do you need certifications to land your first cybersecurity job? No! All of our panelists landed their first cybersecurity role without specific certs, but did get entry-level certifications like CompTIA Security+ later to validate their experience.
- Ariel, a Springboard graduate and Information Security Analyst, shared her 3 favorite resources to build your professional network in cybersecurity.
- Chris, a RapidAscent graduate and Cybersecurity Coach, told us how veterans can access cybersecurity training using the GI Bill and programs like SkillBridge.
- Lighthouse Labs graduate and Security Architect & Analyst Caleb got real about about what it took to make a career pivot from insurance to cybersecurity – and how AI is impacting the industry today.
And here are your next steps!

Of course, you can re-watch the recorded Q&A and share it with anyone you know who is interested in becoming a cybersecurity professional and/or enrolling at a cybersecurity bootcamp this year!

A transcript will be made available in about one week on the Course Report blog.
Thanks again!
