Alan Nobles has dedicated his entire career to healthcare in one capacity or another. Like most cybersecurity professionals, he didn't aspire to be a cybersecurity professional or study for it during his college years. Yet, he's found his purpose in helping healthcare organizations manage cybersecurity risk.
I really wanted to share Alan's story because it can reassure young students that you don't have to have a perfect 5 or 10-year plan all figured out. I also think it’s worth highlighting that every experience may benefit you in the future, and you may not realize it until you look backwards.
What inspires me when speaking with Alan is how he’s humble and grounded even though he continues to invest in the healthcare community through advocacy at SC HIMSS or teaching grad students about security and privacy best practices in healthcare. The world is such a better place thanks to selfless leaders like Alan.
I hope you will enjoy my chat with Alan and that he will move you to pursue your purpose in cyber or health IT. And don’t forget to pay it forward like Alan does.
