“An open mind, a hunger for knowledge… [a] willingness to be open and coachable and teachable.” That’s the kind of unique mindset that veterans bring to private sector employers—and why they’re so well suited to cybersecurity, where the tech stack and attack strategies keep evolving, says NPower’s Nelson Abbott. The national nonprofit offers free tech training to vets and others from underserved communities. Abbott and two NPower alums now employed at Tanium discuss how businesses can solve the growing problem of understaffed security teams.
