Career Shift from App Delivery to Cybersecurity Mgmt Advice Requested

Career Shift from App Delivery to Cybersecurity Mgmt Advice Requested

I am currently enrolled in a Master's program for Cybersecurity Management & Policy, I recently completed my MBA, and my undergrad is in Information Technology. I have more than 30 years of project and program management experience in application delivery (full lifecycle), Agile and Digital Transformations.

I am looking to shift my career into the Cybersecurity world, any advice available for how to successfully make the shift? I would like to be at the policy and management level (hence, the degree), and eventually get to a CISO role.

Thank you in advance!

    Hi Daffeyo, I recommend that you follow Teddy Phillips on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddyphillips/. He's in Cybersecurity in Microsoft and he posts job postings, career advice, etc. It would be good to engage him in the comments or sending him a direct message. I'm sure LinkedIn will also suggest posts in CISO based on your engagement.
