Sooo not sure if this applies in this specific bowl but just graduated with a CS degree and just started as a advanced app engineering analyst. I’d really like to focus on and get into cybersecurity but I don’t really have any experience with that so I’m wondering is it possible in this current position to get into cyber at Accenture and if so how would I go about doing it? (Already listed it as a desired specialization)

For anyone wanting to get into cybersecurity:

Step 1: get the Security+.

This is what I always recommend regardless of what area of cyber security you want to get into down the line.

Start with security+ to build your foundational knowledge, much easier to transition if you have something to show expertise.

Congrats on getting upgraded in TDP. You are either exceptionally talented or great at interviews. First year we can’t really staff you because of TDP restrictions. But after that once you self learn skills, you can start. I recommend using FREE fortinet/ Palo Alto/cisco training we have, getting one of their certs. Learn which area of security you want to work with: IAM, cyber defense, applied engineering, advanced adversaries simulation etc then reach out to the leads or contacts listed. We have a dedicated security page and everyone is great about responding. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thank you so much!

Echoing what Security Consultant 1 said. Pick a domain within Security (you can find them all in the Accenture security community site), then go after trainings and certs in that area for ~1yr. Then reach out to that domain and ask if u can be added to a “friends of...” list. I know some domains have that for when they need to staff security projects but dont have enough ppl

Thank you (:

Guys how is Accenture security? I’ll be coming over from EY as a Manager and want to know about learning/growth opportunities within the firm. I currently have an IAM focus. Thank you.

Can you provide some examples?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.
