Getting Into Infosec

Summary: Entertaining stories of how others got into Information Security (aka cybsersecurity), their experiences, lessons learned, and advice about getting in. JOIN MY NEWSLETTER FOR ADVICE, TIPS, AND UPDATES!! Listen for an "Easter Egg" in each show! If you're looking to break into infosec, I wrote a little guide! Check it out: “I purchased the kindle book last night and just finished it. It was a great “mini-mentoring” session, and I felt encouraged to persevere. I plan to listen to the podcasts regularly. As a woman getting into InfoSec, I feel as though I have been alone my entire life, learning and self-teaching with no real guidance or mentorship.” If you benefited from an episode, please take a moment to thank our guests for taking the time and sharing their story.
