Ryan, a former USAF Missile and Space Maintenance Technician, is now a Security Operations Center Analyst at Simmons Bank.  “I’ve always been around computers and have been kind of “the IT guy,” but never the super technical IT guy. I was just interested in the technology, so I decided I wanted to get an IT job. I also knew cybersecurity was where I wanted to go In the apprenticeship program [at Simmons] I learned a lot of different programming languages, and I found a whole bunch of new resources. ….…It’s interesting work. I like the puzzle of figuring out why this got on the system, or how it got on the system.”
