Her ability to remain composed under pressure and her proficiency in translating complex medical information into understandable terms has been vital in her role at CCTX.The Role at CCTX — At CCTX, Gina's work involves threat analysis and translating complex cybersecurity threats into actionable advice for a diverse range of members, from large corporations to small businesses. The nonprofit organization plays a crucial role in threat intelligence sharing across sectors in Canada, similar to ISACs and ISAOs in the U.S.Mentorship and Continuous Learning — Gina discusses the ongoing learning environment within CCTX, facilitated by member-led webinars and hands-on experiences such as Wireshark workshops.

She also mentors others transitioning into cybersecurity, stressing the value of soft skills and effective communication in securing roles within the industry.Advice to Employers in Cybersecurity — Gina urges employers to recognize the potential in candidates from diverse professional backgrounds, emphasizing that the ability to learn and adapt is often more important than years of industry-specific experience. She advocates for a hiring approach that looks beyond certifications to the person’s overall ability to fit within the team and contribute to the organization’s goals.This episode underscores the potential for successful career transitions into cybersecurity from seemingly unrelated fields. Gina D’Addamio’s story is a testament to how diverse experiences can enrich the cybersecurity field, bringing fresh perspectives and skills that enhance threat analysis and response.___________________________SponsorsImperva: https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!___________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/rogers-cybersecure-catalyst and https://itspm.ag/rogershxbpAccelerating Cybersecurity Training and Innovation | 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine from Black Hat Sector 2024 | A Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst Short Brand Innovation Story with Rushmi Hasham and Vasu Daggupaty: https://on-location-with-sean-martin-and-marco-ciappelli.simplecast.com/episodes/accelerating-cybersecurity-training-and-innovation-7-minutes-on-itspmagazine-from-black-hat-sector-2024-a-rogers-cybersecure-catalyst-short-brand-innovation-story-with-rushmi-hasham-and-vasu-daggupaty______________________...
