Davin Jackson, cybersecurity media personality for eSecurity Planet , joins host Katie Bavoso for this week’s Channel Insider: Partner POV. Jackson explains what drew him to pursue a career in cybersecurity, but says he didn’t always feel like he belonged. He says he didn’t see cybersecurity experts that looked like him until he met his mentor. Now, Jackson is on a mission to make cybersecurity an accessible subject with eSecurity Planet, as well as “be the change he wants to see” in the industry by inspiring the next generation of InfoSec experts through eSports at his center Alpha eSports and Technology. Jackson also shares his opinions on what he believes is holding businesses and individuals back from becoming more secure, and the barriers to entry he wants to see lowered or changed for those who want to begin careers in cybersecurity.
