Defence Needs More Than Hackers in Hoodies When headlines warn of ransomware crippling hospitals or deepfakes swaying elections, we picture hoodie‑clad hackers and elite penetration testers.

This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, and a concrete 90‑day plan to land a cyber security job—no packet sniffers required.
