How difficult is it to switch from a devops or cloud role to a security role like network security, soc analyst or pentesting?
shellsharks@infosec.pub 5 months ago
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 :/
