| Texte |
Maybe you've always dreamt of getting into the InfoSec field, and have been thinking about getting into information security for a while, or it's just coming to mind now. Regardless of where you are in your journey, welcome to the InfoSec community! In the words of the great Kung Fu Master, Shifu, “There is no level zero.”
If you’ve seen Kung Fu Panda, you may recall that Po is a panda who eats, sleeps, and breathes Kung Fu, yet finds himself outside that community. He dreams of being a warrior. One day, he sees an opportunity to witness a significant moment in Kung Fu history and so he sets out on his journey. But first, he must climb to the temple. It would have been easy for him to zig-zag his way to the top of the mountain, though it might have taken longer. Instead, he started with the logical place... the stairs - a much shorter path. You too will have to choose your path to awesomeness. Allow me to illuminate the way.
“There is no level zero.”
Find Your Why
Po wanted to be great at Kung Fu purely for the sake of being great. Unfortunately, that probably won’t be enough to sustain you in the InfoSec field. We all have selfish motivations, but they should pale in comparison to the greater good of our community, industry, and humanity. You will meet many who have forgotten that we are doing this for people, not to serve technology. Find your "why", and let it be outside yourself. That motivation will carry you through the many challenges, twists and turns along the way.
“You will meet many who have forgotten we are doing this for people…”
Take the Shortest Path
The circuitous route is to acquire the necessary skills along whatever path you are on now. Even so, you will at some point have to focus on the particulars of those skill areas and invest in them.
The alternative is the more direct route of certification and/or education. Although it may be more difficult, it will give you a more immediate opportunity. Certifications offer concentrated, focused training in a specific set of topics to support your goals. For example, the SANS Institute and CompTIA have well-planned certification roadmaps. Simply take a look at them, consider your current ability level and pick a certification as a starting point. Another resource is the free site Cybrary.it which hosts training courses in the certification area of your choosing. Don't forget to schedule your exam to give you motivation. Just taking an exam is a learning experience. Here’s a blog on the value of certifications you might want to look at.
A wise mentor once told me that in order to be successful in InfoSec you need strong bases in at least one but preferably two of three areas: development, system administration, or networking. You may, perhaps, choose certifications such as Python and Powershell, A+, NET+, CCNA, Windows, Linux, and others. These may be vendor specific or vendor-agnostic. Employers will prefer a mix of both, depending on their alliances, partnerships, and the technologies that they leverage to deliver their business. Security job postings are an excellent source of this business intelligence.
