In this inspiring conversation, Joey Pinz speaks with cybersecurity advocate Brianna Steele, who brings a refreshing and deeply human perspective to one of the world’s most technical professions. With a background in psychology and a passion for understanding human behavior, Brianna explains why attacker motivations, intentions, and emotional drivers are just as important as the tools they use.
Brianna shares her journey from Arizona to the Washington, D.C. area, her involvement with Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS), and why representation and mentorship are pivotal for bringing more women into the field. She breaks down how behavioral analysis shapes her interest in SOC work and why understanding “why people hack” matters as much as how they do it.
The conversation expands into AI as a study companion, fasting and lifestyle discipline, motivation rooted in love, and the importance of self-awareness when entering a high-pressure industry. Brianna’s warmth and clarity make this an energizing episode for anyone exploring cybersecurity, career transition, or personal growth.
