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 11 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 :/
