Bypassing the HR Firewall

Presented at ShellCon 2020 Virtual, Oct. 9, 2020, 10:30 a.m. (55 minutes).

Infosec is an exciting field and statistics are constantly showing a high demand for individuals with security-centric skills. Whether you're a student who just graduated, an IT professional pivoting to security, or someone looking for a career change, one ever-present variable is the challenge to transition into infosec. Bypassing the HR Firewall discusses the reality of transitioning into infosec, the challenges involved with that transition, and how to overcome those challenges.

    When I began my infosec journey I quickly realized that it wasn't an easy field to get into. I was introduced to RaiseMe at the LayerOne conference and was grateful there was a place for a noob like me to gain insight and direction. The advice from RaiseMe helped me in my approach to transitioning from help desk to my role as an incident response analyst. Since then I've been an advocate for helping those overcome the challenges of transitioning into infosec.
