Abstract
This presentation is intended to help prepare students and others who are wanting to embark or further develop an IT/Info/Cyber-security career by breaking down the news-and-marketing-driven hype and myths surrounding the IT-sec industry and offers practical advice on what they need to develop in order to become a well-rounded practitioner that organisations desperately need instead of a theory-only professional that the industry has too much of.
