About the Blog
Security Wannabe is a blog for people that are curious about the IT Security industry.
It tries to answer questions like these:
- How do you make the transition from security wannabe to paid security security wannabe?
- What skills/experience do you need to pick up along the way?
- Are there ‘fun’ jobs in the IT security industry?
- What “cool stuff” do you get to do?
- What is a typical day like for someone employed as a ‘your-future-job-role’
- How do you do some of the things you do? (e.g. Incident Response, Penetration Testing)
