Have you wondered if you want to get into InfoSec management and do less technical work and more of growing a team and building programs? Can you go back to doing technical work after being a manager? Wait…how do I even get into management in the first place?
These are things that I battled with for a while before taking the plunge into management. There are things that I thought about and a lot of things I did not think about which I found out eventually. In this presentation I hope to talk about my journey from an Individual-Contributor to a Senior Manager over 8 years and discuss some of the things like job expectations, challenges, growth, mindset of an infosec manager which hopefully will help you make a decision on which route you might want to consider in your career.
