Dr. Chase Cunningham, director of cyber threat research and innovation, Armor, and, co-creator and Chief of Technology Operations for The Cynja, a comic book to teach kids about cybersecurity

"My favorite thing about working in IT security is the fact that I get to help mold the real next generation of cyber warriors. Thanks to the work we do at The Cynja we are literally helping to train and educate the next 20 years worth of youngsters that will inherit the world of IT. It is so thrilling to know that the material that we are providing is actually teaching kids, parents, and now schools on how they can leverage technology to not only make things easier but to be safer and more secure. We have kids as young as 4 learning what encryption and botnets are, all while becoming actively engaged in an industry where they have the potential to make a positive change and start a career with no boundaries. Most information security professionals are working to fix the problems we have now, at The Cynja we are truly working to help our future generation be ready to fight the good fight in cyberspace."
