Status: Ready - Preparing for your next Infosec Role

Presented at Diana Initiative 2019, Aug. 10, 2019, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

What happens when you are tired of your current InfoSec role, experience an unexpected layoff or if you would like to move on or up in your career? Instead of waiting to land a new job to learn new skills you can already be getting a head start on being the perfect candidate for your next role! This talk will discuss self-learning and taking the initiative to learn new skills on your own time for free or at a discounted price. I want to encourage others not to wait for their employer, university or a Bootcamp to get new skills. I will be providing resources and strategies that can be used to advance in your InfoSec career. Key factors to advancing in your InfoSec career include Never stop learning, your future job title, networking, and investing in yourself. After this talk, you will gain the confidence and the resources to prepare for your next InfoSec role.
