It is widely reported that women are only 11% of the global workforce of cyber/information security professionals. In order to make the industry more accessible and equitable, I created a solution.

With this book, I am going to teach you strategies and tools that you need to have a great career in infosec. From defining your goals to building a valuable network, ramping up tech skills to knowing when to walk away, I will teach you to think beyond the single income aspect of reaching the six-figure jobs. I provide worksheets in the guide to challenge you to think bigger and plan for careers with W2s and 1099s.

Consider this:

Bug bounty programs pay researchers millions of dollars per year
Security certification providers, colleges, and universities conduct ongoing content refreshes and pay industry practitioners for their expertise
Platforms pay security practitioners to appear on their webcasts
Companies pay consultants for project based niche services
Conferences pay lucrative fees to their speakers
These examples barely scratch the surface. This is much bigger than making more money though. Gaining access also means that you can positively influence the direction of the industry as a whole. This includes academia, security technology, government policy, the design of certifications, call for papers (CFP) committees, hiring panels, implementation of codes of conducts at conferences, and much more.

The industry needs your brilliance. We need you to show up and commit to doing the work. We need you to come get this money with us.

Katie Moussouris (@k8em0), Luta Security CEO, bug bounty pioneer, and certified badass said, “We should all just go out and make a s**t ton of money because they will never, ever, ever stop telling you that you’re not qualified to do or say whatever it is that you’re doing or saying, no matter how many years you’ve been doing it, no matter how many degrees or citations you have.”

I can show you how to secure the bag. Whether you are interested in the field, new to the industry (less than three years), or you’re a seasoned pro, Secure The InfoSec Bag will teach you how to manage your career like a boss.

Dark Reading recently named me one of the top 10 women in security quietly changing the game. This career guide is one of the ways that I am doing so. I want to show you how to position yourself for maximum success so you can take control of your financial future, help other women, and leave your mark on this industry!
