I had been in the IT industry for over 10 years and our company was creating its first software as a service (SaaS) software offering. The previous software we had developed was only used in house. During the project, I discovered the infinite cybersecurity risks that we previously had not encountered.
I learned about SQL injections, firewall hardening, network segmentation, vulnerability testing, penetration testing, network monitoring, hardening server configurations, monitoring security logs, disaster recovery, business continuity and defense in depth. I realized that I enjoyed it and that I would need more education and more cybersecurity experience. source
