2026 Cybersecurity Career Blueprint
Build your full 2026 cybersecurity career plan in 60 minutes
A working session where you build a plan you'll actually follow. I'll show you exactly what I have planned for my own 2026 and what I used during each step of the workshop so you can follow along and build yours faster.
If you do nothing, 2026 will still happen
You’ll chase certs, bootcamps, or job boards and still feel behind.
You’ll say yes to everything, stay busy, and wonder why none of it adds up.
For beginners, it looks like 200 job applications with no callbacks.
For mid-career pros, it means watching less-skilled peers get promoted while you train the interns and hold the line.
For leaders, it’s yet another year of defending budgets, herding underpowered teams, and leaving strategy stuck in draft mode.
This isn’t a skills problem. It’s not a motivation issue.
It’s a clarity gap. No clear plan, just motion.
This workshop exists to fix that. In 60 minutes, you’ll write a career blueprint that holds all year.
I’m using 2026 as the working example right now, but the framework works for any year or planning cycle.
This works whether you plan in January or reset in July. But starting sooner gives you more time for the plan to compound.
Here's what's covered in the 2026 Cybersecurity Career Blueprint
"I found the session to be spot on and extremely educational with the right mix of humor and candid talk."
Taiye Lambo
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Deputy CIO

Dan ÓBrien
In one session, you’ll build a complete, month-by-month strategic career plan for 2026.

You will leave the workshop with a plan that tells you:
Map your entire 2026.
In one session.
You can let this year unfold by accident, or you can design it.

Access is $37 and includes the full workshop, the template, and my follow-along 2026 example you can reference as you build your own month-by-month plan. This is focused planning designed to move your career forward.
2026 Cybersecurity Career Blueprint

Beginners get structure.
Experienced pros get leverage.
You will write. You will decide. You will leave with a finished plan.
Hi, I'm Taylor Banks
I’m not a "career coach." I'm a doer. I’ve spent 28+ years in cybersecurity. Hands-on hacker. Startup exec. Community builder. DEF CON leadership.
I built my career without a degree. I’ve taught cybersecurity to students in 21 countries and helped tens of thousands of cybersecurity professionals go from overlooked to in-demand.
I’ve also been stuck.
Overlooked.
Burned out.
Started over more than once.
This workshop is the one I wish I had years ago when I was trying to figure out what came next. It’s built to help you make clear decisions and act on them, whether you're breaking into the field or steering your career in a new direction.

Taylor is a trusted resource, advisor, and sounding board on cyber security. Taylor’s deep knowledge and ability to clearly and concisely articulate the most arcane details was impressive. I’ve come to know Taylor as a peerless advocate, champion, educator, and practitioner in information security!

I am highly skeptical of instructor-led training... because I spent a good deal of time as a trainer myself for Microsoft and Citrix. I don't give praise often or easily for other trainers, but I not only enjoyed my class with Taylor, but learned a great deal. He has an excellent knack for keeping the class moving and keeping the students interested. I would be happy to take a class from Taylor again anytime.

Taylor completely understands information security and privacy, from theory to implementation to practice. Taylor is also an exemplary public speaker. I have yet to encounter an individual that does not enjoy his presentations.

Common Questions
Both. The framework adapts to where you are. If you’re just getting started, it gives you structure and direction. If you’re more advanced, it helps you focus, cut noise, and design a plan that actually fits your goals.
Yes. I designed this as a working session. You can pause anytime and complete each section of the template as we go.
No. Just show up ready to think, write, and decide. A simple template is included during the session.
This isn’t a talk or a lecture. Over 40 percent of the session is live build time. You will leave with a written, month-by-month plan. Not notes. Not theory. Not vague inspiration.
