Linking in to your Security Career and Application
Security Standards of the PCI- March 26, 2008 

Location: Bahen Centre, 40 St. George Street, Room
1180
 
Topic: Linking in to your Information Security Career

Speakers: Robert Beggs and Bruce Cowper

One of the most popular questions on the TASK forums
is: “how do I break into the security
field”? Sadly, it rarely receives an answer
– like any other career, it seems to be a matter
of who you know, and making connections can be
difficult. Tonight we’re going to look at social
networking resources on the web, especially LinkedIn
and Facebook, and see how we can use these as a way to
meet and build professional contacts. Even those who
are practicing security specialists may be surprised
at how they can use these sites to develop and
maintain their own “security networks”.

drawn from secure software development methods, Ben

industry best practices
