Out of Rungs (The Security Awareness Career Ceiling)

Where does a security awareness career actually go? I went looking, and I did not like what I found.

Salaries flatten early. The senior seats barely exist outside the biggest companies. The job market does not even track security awareness as its own discipline. But it does track something else, and the skills listed next to it are the exact things practitioners do every day.

In this episode I pull apart a typical awareness CV line by line and rewrite it in the language of security enablement. Same work, same wins, and it reads like a completely different career. Then the bigger questions. Should we rename the roles? Should we rename the discipline? And was it ever the cyber, or was it always the enablement?

The Awareness Practitioners is a podcast for the people making security human. No vendor pitches. No theory without application. Just honest conversations about changing behaviour and building security cultures that actually work.
