I would say that your mindset as a developer is a plus. You could start focusing on how to apply security knowledge on CI/CD pipelines which should be right now your daily business anyways (from a developer’s perspective). So how to make containers safe, dependencies always up to date. These are already hard problems to solve and your developers mindset and skill will help you: how to implement this stuff for yourself and also keeping a developer’s perspective in t CI/CD process. Shift left on security. Make it a win-win situation for everybody
