I've spent roughly 18 years building sites and apps for the web and while I always did my best to apply the basics of security, I never truly understood the many ways systems could be hacked. That changed when Wannacry hit and I decided to refocus my career to help secure not only systems, but people. In this talk I'll discuss the impetus for my career change, the challenges I faced as a new person to the community, how I forged relationships that helped me pave a solid path in the right direction and how I eventually broke into this amazing & competitive field. I hope that sharing this will help newcomers better navigate the murky waters of this community.
