David Spark, Andy Ellis, and Alexandra Landegger examine cyber career entry, industry pitfalls, and responsible ambition live at B-Sides San Francisco.
Takeaways
•Cybersecurity rarely offers true entry-level roles. Industry leaders stress adjacent skillsets—like teaching or journalism—aid lateral moves, and insertion positions best suit those who thrive amidst chaos.
•Overenthusiastic candidates sometimes cross ethical lines, from unauthorized vulnerability testing to aggressive personal research. Responsible ambition, aligned with organizational or legal frameworks, stands out as crucial.
•Asset management, incident response, and offboarding form the critical triad of cyber hygiene. Panelists debate priorities, emphasizing that missing any weakens security posture, but strong asset management or incident response offers immediate resilience.
