It's gonna be May

Technical.ly's Cybersecurity Month has come to an end. To wrap it up, we published multiple in-depth articles on the state of cybersecurity in each of our markets: Philly tackled the cybersecurity skills gap and how to bridge it. DC and Pittsburgh delved into the future of cybersecurity by looking into the industry’s past in their respective regions. Delaware, like Baltimore, reported on where government and the cybersecurity industry intersect.

Throughout April, I’ve learned about cybersecurity myths, professional pathways through the army, places to find jobs in Baltimore and where neurodiversity and cybersecurity intersect. Will I put tape on my camera to stop the guy stealing my internet in apartment 2B from spying on me? Probably not. But I do recognize that cybersecurity is an integral part of digital life. Individuals and corporations alike will do well not to treat it as an afterthought.

Let us know some of your favorite cybersecurity pieces of this month, or something/someone you think Technical.ly should have covered by replying to this email or sending a note to baltimore@technical.ly, anytime.
