🚀 Tech Jumpstart: Hack your career in Cyber Security

Curious about a career in cyber security?

Not sure where to start — or even what "cyber security" really covers? At our next Tech Jumpstart meetup, we're diving deep into the world of cyber security careers: from data governance to threat intelligence, ethical hacking to compliance, and much more. Whether you're technical, creative, or just cyber-curious, there’s a space for you.

Our incredible guest speakers bring experience from the police, banking, and private sector — offering real-world insights into how to get started, what skills you need, and where a career in cyber could take you.

Meet Our Panel:

• Az Shah – Cyber Security veteran with decades of experience across network security, banking, and AI-driven technologies.
• Daniel Sykes – Cyber Protect Officer at Surrey and Sussex Police, helping communities and businesses defend against cyber threats.
• Seth King – Cyber Threat Intelligence expert, working at Nomura Bank and formerly with the National Crime Agency.

We will discuss:

• What jobs exist in cyber security (it’s not just hacking!)
• Which skills are most valuable today
• Essential qualifications (and free courses you can start now)
• How to actually get hired in cyber — and what employers are really looking for

We'll break into small group discussions, rotating tables with our guest speakers to deep-dive into different topics. Expect lively conversations, real-world advice, and plenty of chances to ask your burning questions!
