In 2023, cybersecurity is a $202 billion industry with hundreds of thousands of jobs. It’s hard to imagine that it was once a fledgling sector, but back in 2009 when Al Lerberg chose it, that’s exactly what it was.

“Up and coming” was how cybersecurity was once described. Today, it’s a dominant, mainstream niche that shows no signs of slowing down, especially when it comes to jobs. Al saw that early, and benefitted from getting ahead of a massive wave.

What’s it like recruiting in the world of high-security clearances and 3-letter government agencies? How do hockey and playing guitar influence how Al does his job? In this episode, the founder of Cyber Security Recruiters shares how he took a chance on an industry before it exploded, and the intricacies of recruiting for the government.
