In this week's episode of the Security Repo Podcast, we ask a pentester who is one year into her cybersecurity career how she got started. Along the way, we learn about her favorite security tools, what it was like making the leap into security, and how to get started with your own journey, no matter what path you want to take. We are joined by Alexis Diediker, who brings a fresh perspective to her OCO Consultant role, where she uses the social engineering skills acquired from her non-tech service industry background to deliver practical insights and technical expertise in network penetration and advanced social engineering assessments. Known for her unique approach, Alexis holds certifications including Security+, PenTest+, PNPT, CRTO, and is a recipient of the Women of Cyber Academy scholarship from The SANS Institute (Certifying her in GFACT, GSEC, and GCIH). Alexis is currently obtaining her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Cybersecurity/IT at Western Governors University. In her free time she indulges in whiskey, riding motorcycles, and fantasy lore. https://eicc.edu/news/2024-student-story-alexis-diediker.aspx https://www.linkedin.com/in/adiediker1088/
