Hello! My name is Mike and I am an infosec engineer with 10+ years experience. I’ve worked in GRC, Vulnerability Management, PenTesting & AppSec. I have 17 SANS certs (I have a serious problem) and I’m also an infosec community enthusiast and creator/mod for /c/cybersecurity. AMA!
Hey Mike, I am currently an SRE (total 3 years of experience), how easy/difficult will it be for me to pivot into cybersecurity?
I guess it depends what skills/experience you’ve picked up in your time as an SRE. I suspect you have some really transferrable skills though and really just need to get some foundational knowledge for infosec. Sec+ is a good place to start, and if you couple that with some coding, cloud and OS-knowledge, I think you’d be a really appealing candidate for a lot of teams.
Thanks Mike! Appreciate your input!
