For some, the path to infosec starts in a lecture hall-- for Rachel it started in a glass booth hacking live in front of 400 people. Join Rachel as she walks through her nonlinear path to infosec from her background in neuroscience to the rat lab, through teaching to UX research, through live hacking to starting her own company in the field. You’ll hear tales from the glass booth, lessons she learned along the way, and insights from other non-traditional journeys to information security.
