Ask HN: What are possible career paths in cybersecurity policy?
The question almost says it all: I am working towards an MSc in cybersecurity policy at Georgia Tech and will have 6 years of Devops and SRE experience once I'm done. To make sure I'm taking into all my options I figured I should ask here: what are some career paths that can combine my policy and engineering experience?
Thank you in advance!
- relaunched 6y agoI'd suggest you look I to the technical compliance route - PCI and HiTrust have many technical. requirements. There are also many companies that develop technical compliance tools - ServiceNow, Archer, Vulcan, etc. Becoming a technical auditor, QSR, pen tester, etc. might be an option.
