About this listen

Welcome back CyberDudes! This week, we’re joined by Phil Ruffin, who shares his journey from help desk roles to cybersecurity risk management and technical support engineering. Together, we break down the challenges of breaking into cyber, from flawed hiring practices to certifications that don’t always open doors.


We also explore the role of networking, hands-on labs, and self-improvement in standing out, plus why soft skills and mentorship matter more than most people realize.


Join us for all this and more—including our take on the biggest misconceptions about landing a cyber job—on CyberDudes!
