Security

[eternaloptimist]

So I am nearing the end of my msc computer science and not sure what area I would like to work in. I've done software and android development, machine learning/ data analytics, virtualization(vmware esxi, hyper-v, xenserver), networks, devops and basic sysadmin type of projects in my studies.

I am interested in security but I haven't done any C. anyone here work in security? any advice on what these roles usually entail? thanks!

What do you mean security?

Sounds like a job where everyone hates you and you do allot paperwork in a very red tape environment.

Hi,

I think the first thing you need to do is research aka Google which part of cyber security you are interested in. Security is a broad term to use. I am in cyber security as a penetration tester but you can be either a penetration tester, malware researcher, reverse engineer, mobile penetration tester, etc etc

Or even Cyber Security awareness and workshops.

Random but what did you start with. CISSP or OWASP. Seems different peeps want different things
