Hi there,

I'm looking for some good honest advice from some of the seasoned professionals who frequent the board. A couple of years ago I finally made the decision to switch my career to the IT industry (something I'd wanted to do for a long time). At first, like so many others, I found it hugely difficult to get my foot in the door and get my first job in IT but thankfully two years on after a great deal of hard work I now have my first job in IT (1st / 2nd Line support for a Cloud based solution provider).

During studying for the usual Certs along the way I have discovered that I have a real genuine interest in the security side of IT and wanted to ask for any advice on how to try to get into / steer my career towards this field from where I currently am? Any advice that could be offered would be greatly appreciated?

(A dream job, and maybe it would be just that, a dream, would to be an IT Security Consultant)

You probably need to work toward something like CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)

 

Thanks guys, very much appreciated
