Sarah has had an exceptional career to date working her way up from a receptionist to Head of Information Security at a global organisation. She talks to us about how she did this and the main things you need to know about or consider when looking to explore a move across. Sarah talks us through each move and how she managed to get her foot in the door even when she didn\u2019t always have exactly the right experience. In the words of Sarah herself, &#8220;the principles are the same &#8211; you go from physical security and your focus is to identify your assets, identify your threats and identify your risks &#8211; everything else follows from there. It&#8217;s exactly the same in information security but the asset you are protecting is digital instead of something that&#8217;s standing in front of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=siW89wGXbDY\">Watch video<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with Sarah Harvie: the transition from physical security to cyber In their series&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":9105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,12009,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-profiles","category-quick-click-security","category-security-careers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.2) -
