A solid guide to get into info sec
This book is a solid guide to understanding what it takes to get a job in information security.
If you’re a recent grad looking to get into the field, or a veteran of another industry, you’ll learn the history, the lingo, and the mindset you need to break into information security.
The author breaks down that you don’t even have to be technical to get a job in information security - strong analytical skills and an appreciation of process are more valuable than being a programmer or having a network engineering background.
It was an enjoyable and informative read.
