Welcome back to The Cyber Revolution Podcast!

This week on The Cyber Revolution Podcast, Adam Hewitt, CEO of Cyber Revolution, is joined by Caleb, a former student who successfully transitioned from window fabrication to cybersecurity.

Caleb shares his journey from spending seven years in window fabrication to landing his dream role as a Level 1 SOC Analyst at Triskel Labs. He discusses the challenges of changing careers, the intense training process, and how his previous leadership experience has helped him adapt to his new role in a 24/7 Security Operations Center.

If you're considering a career change into cybersecurity without a traditional IT background, Caleb's story provides valuable insights and encouragement for your journey.
