Dark Reading Radio: Advancing Your Security Career

Whether you're an experienced security professional in today's skills-starved market or a newbie looking for your first job, you have many options for improving your prospects -- from increasing your salary by improving your credentials, to finding a new position at another company, or becoming an independent bug bounty hunter who searches for  security vulnerabilities and responsibly discloses them to a company's security team. 

In our next Dark Reading Radio show, Wednesday, April 13 at 1:00 p.m. EDT/10:00 a.m. PDT, we’ll take a look at the range of opportunities in today’s hot cybersecurity market and discuss the variety of career options to consider based on your individual interests, skills, experience, and industry-specific talents:

Our guests include:

Prior to that, Kymberlee analyzed APTs at Microsoft, and spent four years investigating product vulnerabilities in BlackBerry's Security Response Team.
