winja talk 2021“So you want to get into Cybersecurity?” by Aditi Bhatnagar. This talk was focused on speaker’s journey into the field of cybersecurity.
Abstract:
The field of cybersecurity is wide and deep. There's a lot of confusion around how to start in this field, which subset of cybersecurity should one pursue, which skillsets will help you thrive in this field, how to develop that skill set, how is security engineering different from software engineering, and so on.
In this talk, I'll share my journey into the field of cybersecurity. How I got started in this domain, navigated through it, gathered the required skillset, and switched to security engineering as a full-time job. I'd talk about my exposure to the domain, comparison with the software engineering role, and provide insights that can help you understand if this is the best domain for you.
