I am a new to product cybersecurity as an infosec analyst. One of my tasks is that I have to develop an individual development plan for myself and I am struggling because I don’t really know what strategic projects to look for with just a month into the company. Can someone please give me some examples of what kind of projects they have added into their plans as an infosec professional?

Development plan for yourself sounds like how you're going to improve yourself in the company. Start off with gaining knowledge of the company's security posture... ie., policy and procedures. How to contribute or enhance your ISMS (Information Security Management Systems) at your company.

Hi all - Trying to pivot into Cybersecurity/Infosec after 7 + years of experience in Network Engineering. No security related certifications. I have enough work experience in network security to match 60-70% of job requirements for infosec positions. Capable to get CEH/OSCP certifications in a few months, but want to wait until I get my foot into the door before investing 2-3K on these certs. Any advice for me will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of anywhere that allows for weekend only security analysts? I'm leaving security engineering to become a sales engineer for security tools. I want to stay sharp on my analytics and get paid to do it.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

My manager says that you get 3% when you are meeting expectations but not going above and beyond. Is this the standard or am I being underpaid? According to me, I haven't gone above and beyond every day, but there are some things I did work on exceptionally well.

Hi all,

My team is evaluating how we can automate identity access certification decisions. This would be based off of access risk and previous certification decisions.
