How do galaxies form? What happens when they collide? These are the kinds of questions Dr Leila Powell grappled with in her previous life as an astrophysicist.<\/b><\/p>\n

But in 2015 she put those galactic-sized questions to one side and moved into cyber-security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pursuit of understanding the universe is really important, but I got to a point where I felt like I wanted to do something that impacted people\u2019s daily lives more,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And like many jobseekers, Ms Powell was looking for better pay and conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are various challenges in the academic career path that can dissuade people from sticking at it, including job security and pay in comparison with industry,” she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dr Powell is lead security data scientist at Panaseer, a company that helps organisations to understand where they might have gaps in their cyber-security controls.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s one of many people who have brought their skills from other careers into cyber-security.<\/p>\n

Cyber-security includes a range of roles that all aim to protect organisations and their technology from cyber-attacks. Some people help to prevent incidents by analysing or improving the security of applications, networks and devices. Others help organisations to continue operating or to recover when they are attacked.<\/p>\n
