Ask HN: Any tips for a programmer wanting to switch into Security?
15 by Murgen_ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've got ~5 years experience as a business app developer with some networking / DevOps experience in there as well. The more I learn about the networking side the more interested I am in how to secure this, and I'm less interested in writing code. Obviously security is becoming more and more important, and I'd like to focus my career toward this. In terms of talent, I'm an average Developer, and I know there are roles that focus toward knowing how to secure applications at the code level, which could be interesting, but I also would be interested in securing networks. I've read that OSCP certification is very good for getting a role in Penetration Testing. Is PenTesting a good place to enter the field? Any general advice would be much appreciated.
