I liked the idea and pursued a wrestling career.
Blueprint pro wrestler professional#
As a powerlifter and a big muscular guy, my friends said I should be a professional wrestler. Phillip Wylie: When I graduated high school, I did not know what I wanted to do for a career. We need to ask about your wrestling career, especially bear wrestling! Can you tell us a little about that part of your life? What was it like to wrestle a bear?
SecurityTrails: You’ve been in offensive security for over a decade now, but you had an interesting career prior to that. We jumped into the ring with Phillip to hear his backstory, which skills transferred from his pro wrestling career to cybersecurity, the importance of mentorship in the industry, and his advice to people that want to start on his path. He has been part of the industry since the late 1990s but, before then, he was actually a pro wrestler and even wrestled a bear! Today, Phillip wrestles with issues of accessibility of cybersecurity education by teaching ethical hacking and web app pentesting at Dallas College and running The Pwn School Project, in addition to working as a Senior Cloud Penetration Tester. Phillip Wylie has one of the more interesting and inspiring stories of going into cybersecurity and becoming a valued professional, mentor, and teacher. Fortunately, many inspiring cybersecurity professionals break the illusion that you need to follow a specific path to have a career in this industry. Not to mention, actually taking the plunge and getting into the industry, especially when coming from a non-traditional background, is a discussion in itself. Cybersecurity is a lucrative career, but knowing which path to follow to break into the industry can be daunting for fresh graduates, enthusiasts, and those switching careers.
