What it is really like working in NATO cybersecurity
62 min About this episode
What is it really like to defend critical infrastructure inside NATO? In this episode we explore how military cybersecurity differs from the corporate world, how international military coordination works, and what makes a highly secure, multi-national environment so different to operate in.
We cover NATO's organisational structure, cross-border collaboration between allies, the realities of cyber warfare strategy and incident response, and practical advice for anyone who wants to start a career in military cybersecurity.
