Try Harder Lurk Moar You’re doing it wrong In the InfoSec community, we pride ourselves on being able to learn on our own and believe going through a trial by fire is necessary in order to be a respected and established in the community. What we don’t realize is, we have many opportunities to better guide each other and learn from one another in order to improve…but are we making the best use of those opportunities? In this talk, we will explore the benefits of mentoring based on research we gathered and using data collected from within our industry. We will also discuss what makes a good mentor/mentee and how to get the most out of the relationship to help one another and the community grow.
