Hello! My name is Mike and I am an infosec engineer with 10+ years experience. I’ve worked in GRC, Vulnerability Management, PenTesting & AppSec. I have 17 SANS certs (I have a serious problem) and I’m also an infosec community enthusiast and creator/mod for /c/cybersecurity. AMA!

    Okay. So my experience as a software developer while not the main thing being judged will still be relevant?

          Kinda depends what you want to get into. If you’ve let to land your first security job maybe something like Sec+ to help get your foot in the door. If you know what discipline you want to get into (appsec, endpoint-sec, etc…) this could help further filter down what cert/training might be best to shoot for. Do you know what you think you want to do?

            I was thinking Network Security. But I’m not sure about it. Sec+ will help me decide that?

              Depends what you mean by “Network Security”. A lot of companies have adopted cloud-first environments so traditional netsec is more so cloud infra. In this case there are cloud-specific certs from Azure, AWS, GCP you can take that would be great. If you’re considering traditional network security it may be different. (Though a lot is very much shared).
