Catching up with Jacob

Season 2, Ep. 1

We're saying hello to 2024 and catching up with Jacob who is the Penetration Testing Manager and Lead at CyberCX.


Like most humans, Jacob wasn't born into pentesting. Or GRC. Or that events management role where he had to deal with a clogged toilet that was spilling sewage water on a dance floor that was all set up and ready for dubstep.


We would say more but we think its better if you listen the whole way through :)
