The InfoSec field is a hard career field to enter if you have little knowledge of security and no experience, but don’t let that discourage you. I was able to secure a job in the information security field and so can you. I did it by using a few common everyday tools like WordPress and Twitter to put myself out there. In the end it came down to one tweet and one email. That tweet and that email changed my life. During this presentation, I’ll show you how I got my job and how using tools like WordPress and Twitter can aid you in your quest to become a security professional.
