Klappentext

The Other Side of the Firewall is more than a book - it's a movement.

This powerful guide blends career advice, lived experience, and personal storytelling to highlight the voices often left out of cybersecurity conversations.

Based on the syndicated podcast of the same name, this book was created by Ryan Williams Sr., a cybersecurity leader, veteran, and advocate for diversity in tech. He brings together real stories from the show - and beyond - to spotlight professionals who broke into and reshaped an industry not originally built for them. Their journeys prove that cybersecurity isn't just about firewalls and forensics - it's about people, purpose, and persistence.

Inside, you'll hear from:

• Women defying expectations in male-dominated roles

• Veterans transforming discipline into cyber leadership

• Neurodivergent professionals whose thinking drives innovation

• People of color rising through the ranks while navigating bias

• Career switchers proving it's never too late to start over

Whether you're a student, career changer, or established professional, this book offers a fresh perspective on how to lead with authenticity in an industry that's rapidly evolving. Each chapter is packed with real-world advice, personal reflection, and powerful takeaways to help you build a meaningful career in cybersecurity - on your own terms.

This book is for you if:

You're tired of generic tech career advice

You want representation, not just information

You're ready to build a career that reflects who you really are

The Other Side of the Firewall is both a celebration and a call to action - a guide for those determined to break in, stand out, and lift others as they climb.
