Life in Security - Practitioners in the Wild (Panel)
summary
Panelists map concrete actions: enable multi-factor authenticate all the things across orgs, invest in basics before exotic tools, and spend 30 minutes doing live sourcing with a recruiter to avoid sifting hundreds of irrelevant resumes. Countless careers begin via internships or lateral moves; firms lack entry-level security roles and suffer bad job descriptions, so build small specialized roles, train laterally from the business, hire for communication and collaboration, and expect to pivot often.
