A Minor for All Disciplines

There is a growing demand for professionals that possess the skillset to “think like a threat actor.”

Students with backgrounds in psychology and sociology understand the human psyche. They find the patterns in threat actor behavior.

Political science and history majors know about conflict and the reasons why threats from one region differ from another.

What if there is an incident that must be explained to the public? A writer or marketing specialist with cybersecurity training will be the ideal person to have on a remediation team.
