After having worked for 8 or 9 years in some of <REDACTED BIG CITY>’s most esteemed cocktail bars, I made a drastic career transition into information security. After working as a pentester and consultant, I was shocked at how much my fine dining and bartending experience helped inform my work as a consultant. This talk helps draw comparisons between the steps of service within hospitality industry and how they can be applied to consulting. Working for a managed service provider means that infosec consulting is, in a roundabout way, very much like working in the service industry. This talk is also helpful for junior professionals or individuals looking to break into the field as it helps reframe soft skills and other non-technical work experience with a consulting and security-focused context.
The second half of this talk will segue into craft cocktail basics, including a quick intro on tools and techniques, then a deeper dive into the base ratios that make up a vast number of classic cocktails, as well as tips and tricks for improvisation and continued learning. I’ll also probably share some of my favorite recipes and bar stories from over the years if time allows and would love to answer viewer/listener questions.
