The struggles of teaching automation

Presented at BSidesLV 2019, Aug. 7, 2019, 11 a.m. (25 minutes)

I want to talk about the struggles of teaching teammates how to learn python. Specifically I want to talk about how to motivate or keep people working towards the goal without using financial incentives and creating the correct culture around learning. I've been working with my team to have each one learn. All of them come from very different starting points. Some of the struggles have been finding the right projects to work on and what resources I used and which ones worked well and which ones did not.

    I'm a security analyst at Rally Health on their secops team and I am very focused on teaching others. I've been working in security for 2 years and over the those 2 years I've realized that automation is a must in security ops and I've created a format to teach the rest of my teammates. Keeping them motivated as well as challenged are things I want to talk about
