Do combat veterans make better cybersecurity professionals? 2. How much does their experience with risk and threat assessment come into play? 3. Do veterans make better cybersecurity professionals for other reasons? 4. Or is the notion that vets make better cybersecurity professions flawed because the required skills are so technical in nature? As a precursor to a comprehensive study, a large-scale survey was conducted to see what differences, if any, there are between individuals with combat experience and those that do not have such experience.
