| Cyber Security Education & Awareness specialty. | 07 Aug 2025 | 00:27:11 | |
Most people assume that cybersecurity is only for technical experts, coders, or ethical hackers. In this episode, we dismantle that myth and reveal one of the fastest and most accessible pathways into the industry: Security Education and Awareness. If you are someone who has no technical degree, no IT background, and no coding experience, this episode will open your eyes to a part of cybersecurity that is rarely talked about, yet growing rapidly. Host Abed is joined by Chantel, a cybersecurity awareness specialist who has worked in some of Australia's biggest organisations and now runs her own company delivering cyber awareness training to businesses. Together, they explore what the job actually involves, how to break into the field, what kind of person is suited to it, and what kind of money you can expect to earn. This is not a generic career advice video. This is a real, in-depth conversation based on firsthand experience, industry practice, and actual hiring insights.

| The SECRET World of Cyber-Crime & Counter-Terrorism Career | 04 Aug 2025 | 00:31:30 | |
Most people think cyber security is all about firewalls and hacking. But there is a hidden side of the industry that few talk about. It involves counterterrorism, human trafficking, organised crime, and intelligence work that often remains classified. In this episode, I speak with Hayley Van Loon, Deputy CEO of Crimestoppers International and former intelligence officer. She shares what it is really like working at the intersection of cyber security and national security. We cover real-world cases, including the disturbing truth behind counterfeit goods and how they fund terrorism and human trafficking. Hailey explains how collaboration across agencies is critical, what skills are actually needed to succeed in this space, and why emotional resilience matters more than a fancy degree. We also dive into the realities of working in intelligence, the psychological toll of seeing the worst of humanity, and what keeps professionals in this field going. If you have ever been curious about cyber crime analysis or wanted a career that makes a real impact, this episode will open your eyes to a side of cyber security that rarely gets attention.
