Another way to get in (if you are attending a University) is getting a job as an assistant to an infosec professor. Depending on the school and the interest this might be the easiest way.
This is what I'm doing starting August and it is a lot easier then getting into the industry, since they are even worse in their prerequisites than the rest of the IT industry, at least in Switzerland (I saw one that said "20 to 22 years old, CISSC and 5 years of industry experience").
- tptacek 16y agoIf you're at University, a far better way is to take an intership for a company that does security. We've had nothing but amazing luck with our interns. They're paid positions and they connect you directly to people who will be hiring when you get out of school. We're a consultancy, so in addition to hiring directly, we're also doing all of our clients a huge favor any time we can place someone for them. Long story short: I might not waste my time with professors. Get out of the building and into the real world!
