Breaking in to the Information Security field isn't easy. The web of certifications, skills, and credibility is hard to climb through without the help of someone who's been there. Many of us would not be here today without the guidance of a mentor. The Information Security Mentor Match-up program is here at DEF CON to help those people new to the field meet with seasoned pros who know the value of mentoring. Whether you're a researcher, pen tester, network admin, number jockey, hardware hacker, or beer connoisseur, there's someone else at DEF CON that shares your passion.
