With this new community, I figured it would be interesting to get a gauge on if there are any security professionals within the community, and what roles everyone holds?
I personally specialize in GRC, but have also worked in network engineering in the past.
The easiest answer is: Yes. I started at my current location as a Security Engineer. Now I’m a Security Architect. Whenever there’s a question I have the opportunity to make up a convincing sounding answer. In the past I followed the Network road from ops, to engineer, and eventually got to CIO. Then I realized I didn’t know enough about security and started over in Security ops.
