How I got into cybersecurity: I ran a small systems group and we had a spam problem. I had a lot of fun fixing it and became a SpamAssassin committer out of it. Then I started attending the MIT Spam Conference. On my ~3rd conference, I responded to three presentations that I had implemented very similar solutions (as FOSS). One talk presented a null result. I told them the concept works great and I could prove it.
That got me a job offer.
