Good morning!
I am trying to find a mentor in the INFOSEC world that can help guide me as I begin my career. I am trying to structure my development in the most streamlined way possible to take optimal advantage of my time and resources and not duplicate efforts with regards to certifications, areas of emphasis, searching for an internship/co-op, etc.
Any suggestions/advice is appreciated!
RLTW,
Josh

Hello Josh.
I am a consultant with Deloitte in our Cyber Risk practice. I personally specialize in public key infrastructure and enablement (think DoD CAC usages and federation). I have been in this field for about 7 years after transitioning off of Army active duty in 2009 and have received my CISSP since. it depends on what you want to do and how specialized you want to be, but there are several great industry certifications out there offered by GIAC, CompTIA and ISC^2 that might help you get the ball rolling. Feel free to message me if you would like to start a conversation on certifications and next steps.
Regards,
Max

We have quite a few opportunities for those with experience in Information Security. If you are interested in taking a look at them, or having a conversation, just let me know. The link below is the article from Computerworld Magazine for your reference. Below that will be our Career page link that takes you directly to the IT positions currently available.
Hope this helps open your opportunities a bit.
