The Rise of the Cyber Women: Amy Ertan
The Rise of the Cyber Women is a collection of non-fiction pieces from women in cyber security. From personal stories of development to advice on entering the industry, the book provides inspirational accounts of determination and real-life career navigation in the field. CDT student Amy Ertan authored a chapter on ‘Postgraduate Study in Cyber Security’ to provide an informative and candid account on the journey through academia. Introduction: I recently had the pleasure of contributing to a book providing perspectives on women’s journeys into cyber security. I was delighted to be able to shape my contribution towards an examination of academia and outline the journey through post-graduate programmes. I was motivated by the fact that academia can seem inaccessible to many and information is scarce if you do not know where to look. I wrote my chapter with the aim of passing on all the advice I would have loved to have been given, to hopefully encourage potential talent into the field
