I enjoy telling stories that bring brands to life through humankind and culture. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading dystopian novels, doing DIY projects, and hanging out with my family. I have a special affinity for clever mugs, belong to House Ravenclaw, and reside in Charlotte, NC, with my husband, 18-year-old son, and our cat named Willow.","url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/"}]}},"rc_img_url":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cybersecurity-blog.jpg","rcblog_by_author":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp\" data-dl-events-click=\"true\" data-dl-element=\"link\"><span class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/69674fd5334effcc6ab5ef2d5374070cf1e9956eec785ac189f73e7db09623af?s=96&d=mm&r=g\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" layout=\"fixed\"><\/img><\/span><span class=\"by-author-name\">Abby Hyde<\/span><\/a>","rc_author_full_name":"Abby Hyde","rc_author_avatar":"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Abby-Hyde.png","rc_author_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/author\/abby-hyde\/amp","rc_post_categories":"<a href=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/category\/trending\/ringcentral-newsdesk\/amp\">Company news &amp; culture<\/a>","amp_link":"\/us\/en\/blog\/ringterns-pursue-cybersecurity-careers\/amp","excerpt_title":"RingTerns Pursue Cybersecurity Careers","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newrcblog.wpengine.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
