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.

Put plainly: if you can guide policy, manage projects, interpret regulations or inspire behaviour change, cyber security wants you. 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.
