Whether you want to break into information security, move from one job
to another, or transition into management, Breaking into Information
Security will help. No other book surveys all the different jobs
available in the industry, frankly discusses the positives and negatives
of each, and what you need to learn to get into and out of each role.
Unlike books that focus on a specific skill set or on how to gain a
certification or get a job, this book encompasses the "big picture,"
including why certifications, if any, are worthwhile for you. In a
profession where new career paths aren't always clear, Breaking into
Information Security will teach you how to identify where you are in
your career today, understand where you wish to go, and provide proven
methods to get there.
From entry-level jobs to the extremely specific skills needed to be an
InfoSec consultant, this book covers it all, including in-job skill
building, working within the community, and building your skills after
hours. If you are seeking to advance in the highly competitive field of
information security, this book will give you the edge you need to break
in.
