The Cyber Coffee Hour comprises Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr. and Alfredzo B. Nash Jr., two cyber experts from Mount Vernon, NY, who love good coffee and conversation. They have surveyed the cyber podcast landscape and want to see a change. The perspective of those getting started in their journey must be emphasized for shows featuring the world's CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs.
The mission of the Cyber Coffee Hour is to feature guests at all stages of the cyber journey. Still, it prioritizes the voices of those who are undergoing gatekeeping, racism, and other biases while trying to make their way into the cybersecurity practicum. The Cyber Coffee Hour uniquely spreads the cybersecurity gospel by featuring guests with and without a cybersecurity background, with cybersecurity as the common denominator.
In this episode of the Cyber Coffee Hour, we're joined by Avanna Huynh, whose journey from financial spreadsheets to security frameworks proves that the best hackers don't always come from traditional tech backgrounds! Avanna shares how her financial risk analysis skills gave her a unique edge in cybersecurity, leading to her selection as a Top 20 Finalist among 2,500+ candidates for Boeing's elite Technical Apprenticeship Program.
We'll explore how her MS in Cybersecurity from WGU and impressive certifications like CompTIA CySA+ and PenTest+ complement her entrepreneurial spirit. Avanna's education platform, Securely Savvy, began as a personal blog but now offers the sought-after Cyber Roadmap Trailblazer Experience, helping non-technical professionals navigate their way into cybersecurity careers.
Grab your coffee and join us for inspirational insights from someone proving that career pivots can lead to extraordinary success!

The Cyber Coffee Hour comprises Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr. and Alfredzo B. Nash Jr., two cyber experts from Mount Vernon, NY, who love a good cup of coffee and conversation. They have surveyed the cyber podcast landscape and want to see a change. For shows featuring the world's CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs, the perspective of those getting started in their journey must be emphasized.
The mission of the Cyber Coffee Hour intentionally features guests of all stages of the cyber journey. Still, it prioritizes the voices undergoing gatekeeping, racism, and other biases while trying to make their way into the cybersecurity practicum. The Cyber Coffee Hour uniquely spreads the cybersecurity gospel by featuring guests with and without a cybersecurity background, with cybersecurity as the common denominator.
The hosts of the Cyber Coffee Hour and The Other Side of the Firewall join forces for a special crossover episode event!
