SWE transitioning to Cybersecurity

Follow for tech related things and my journey in tech
Lets go! I’m starting this fall

Pretty sure thats not even the same jacket

He’s never getting caught 🤣

Wow mark cuban really out here learning the ins and outs of bluesky

Ill keep an eye out for opportunities to expand my responsibilities towards appsec, I was wondering what your journey to appsec looked like, thanks!
November 25, 2024 at 8:59 PM
I’m interested in writing security features as a swe and doing gotchas on the dev team haha
November 25, 2024 at 8:55 PM
Haha thats why I figured appsec would be a good pivot for me since I already have knowledge in app building and I would love to combine it with security to secure them which I always found interesting
November 25, 2024 at 8:53 PM
Thanks! Ill look into it
November 25, 2024 at 8:46 PM
Ive always been interested in cybersecurity and was debating between sec and swe before I specced into swe and since then I found out about appsec which is a perfect intersection of my interests so I want to work towards that
November 25, 2024 at 8:45 PM
Unfortunately Ive seen the cycle of hiring swe’s to build product -> then decimating the team after the product is built one too many times.
November 25, 2024 at 8:45 PM
Its so obvious why cant they see it 🫠
November 25, 2024 at 5:41 PM
Since I come from a swe background I would like to do AppSec someday. Would starting as a SOC1 be a good step in that direction? Whats the next step after that?
November 25, 2024 at 5:35 PM
Also looking to get some insights from more experienced experts. I’m transitioning from swe to cybersecurity so I have some technical knowledge as well as the SEC+

Currently trying to land my first cybersecurity gig and go from there. Working on googles cybersecurity cert atm and reiterating my cv
November 25, 2024 at 5:24 PM
You and me both! Hope to see you at the promised land!

Bastion and Hades

Cant stop those zero day social engineering hacks, almost impossible to upgrade the “software” 😅
November 24, 2024 at 4:40 PM
Is there anything you found interesting recently?

🏃💨 💪

The OSCP is definitely on my list though as I hopefully progress in the field
November 23, 2024 at 2:56 PM
Thanks! Yea, I figured Id work on their cybersecurity course because they have hands on labs that I can use to add keywords to my CV since the SEC+ is not giving me enough callbacks, and OSCP might be too out of my current paygrade since thats red teaming, an even higher barrier of entry than SOC1
November 23, 2024 at 2:55 PM
Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for
