Breaking Into Cyber in 2026: What to Know & What to Skip

The cybersecurity talent gap isn’t shrinking — it’s growing. Over 3.5 million unfilled positions globally, AI-driven threats accelerating faster than ever, and organizations desperate for defenders. If you’ve been thinking about breaking into cybersecurity, 2026 is the year to make it happen.

Join Tyrone Wilson, founder of Cover6 Solutions and Cover6 Academy, for a free virtual meetup covering the real conversation about what it takes to break into cyber — updated for 2026.

What We’ll Cover:

  • Why cybersecurity matters more than ever in 2026
  • The biggest myths holding people back
  • Key roles you should actually target (including GRC & Cloud Security)
  • Skills that matter — with AI literacy front and center
  • Certifications worth pursuing (and which to skip)
  • Building a home lab and portfolio that get noticed
  • The Cover6 Academy pipeline: from #BreakingN2Cyber all the way to #AttackNDefend
  • Common mistakes to avoid as a newcomer

This isn’t just another “how to get into cyber” talk. This is practical, honest guidance from someone who’s been in the trenches — built for people who are serious about making the transition.

Who Should Attend: Career changers, students, IT professionals pivoting to security, and anyone curious about a cybersecurity career.
