I see three or four LinkedIn posts about job searches and applications gone wrong every day. I’ve read tales of recruiter impersonations, postings for roles that don’t exist, and ads that demand money in order to apply.

According to security researcher, book author, and serial entrepreneur Vivek Ramachandran, we’re at a pivotal moment in cybersecurity.
