How to Become an InfoSec Autodidact - Kelly Shortridge - Ann Arbor

Our next Duo Tech Talk will be mid-November and Kelly Shortridge will be escaping the maybe-freezing weather of NYC to face the weather of maybe-freezing Ann Arbor. Or, maybe it will be 60 degrees, who knows.

Either way, we're excited to host Kelly! She will be talking about how one can get into and thrive in the infosec field.

Title:

How to Become an InfoSec Autodidact

Abstract:

The information security industry can often feel inaccessible to outsiders, particularly those without a computer science background. However, there are ways to quickly dive into the field regardless of your background, many of which just require a time investment. I’ll talk about the numerous infosec careers available, how to network with community members, and how to build a knowledge base that is sustainable for the ever-evolving field.
