“The Keyboard Doesn’t Lie”: A Conversation with Army Veteran Hacker, and Entrepreneur: Tyrone E. Wilson

You should ask yourself 3 question: What do you love doing? What are you good at? And what does the world need? If you love it, your passion for it will shine through. If you’re good at it, it will come easy to you. And if it’s what the world needs, there will be demand for it.
— Tyrone E. Wilson, CEO Cover6 Solutions

From securing military networks as a soldier in the US Army, to building his own cybersecurity company, Tyrone E. Wilson recently joined us on the podcast to chat about his InfoSec journey. In this conversation, we explore a number of topics, including a formula for discovering your ‘dream job’, the skills veterans bring to the security industry, and how to combat the perception of ‘what a hacker should look like’. Tyrone also shares a free resource you can use to build your own Security Operations Center (SOC) and brush up on skills, such as threat hunting, intrusion detection, network security monitoring, and more – for free.
