How Did You Get That Job? is back and we’re starting by recognising Cyber Security Awareness Month this October. Shaun’s guest is Neil Khatod, who recently left the US Army after 30 years of service. Neil most recently served as COO of US Army Cyber Command, where he was responsible for defending a network with over 1.4m endpoints.
In a fascinating conversation, Neil tells us about his experiences of working on the army’s offensive and defensive cyber and the difficult decisions he had to make as part of the role. He shares his thoughts on leadership and the humility required to be an effective and professional head of a team. We also ask him for any advice on working in cyber security, and the steps he took to reach his esteemed position.
