How difficult is it to switch from a devops or cloud role to a security role like network security, soc analyst or pentesting?

Hard to say, especially in this market. But, if you have some coding chops (from DevOps experience) or you have some knowledge of native cloud security tooling (from a Cloud role), then you would definitely have a leg up in getting a security engineer or netsec role (consider that a lot of modern “networks” are largely cloud networks).

Oh okay. What devops/cloud job titles should I apply to for the switch to be easier? I am barely able to find 5 cybersec jobs :/

Titles in the security world are kinda a mess. Generally I just look for “-security engineer” titles. So in this case you would probably find “Cloud Security Engineer” or something. Look for security engineer roles that have anything cloud-related in the job req and you are probably on to something.

Alright. Thanks a lot!
