Most people trying to break into cybersecurity are doing it completely wrong. I sat down with Ty Sbano, a 3x Chief Information Security Officer who's built security teams at JPMorgan, Capital One, Vercel, and Webflow, to get the full breakdown: what cybersecurity actually is, the vibe coding security problem nobody's talking about honestly, how to break in as a new grad or career pivoter, the certs that actually matter, and why AI is making cybersecurity the best career bet in tech right now. I'm Aman Manazir, a career coach and software engineer.
