I first met Ayman in 2018 at DEFCON in Las Vegas. We both had the same ambition; to write a book about getting a job in information security. I ended up getting busy with making a podcast and never got around to the book, but Ayman followed through with his promise and desires. Not only that, he followed up with this updated edition. And throughout the years I've recommended his book to hundreds if not thousands of people who are interested in starting their career in cyber security or getting ahead in it. It's been very useful to a lot of people already and I'm so happy to have such a great resource to recommend to people.
In this book, you will learn about the different types of cybersecurity jobs available, the skills and qualifications required for each role, and the best ways to prepare for a career in this field. You will also gain valuable insights into the job market and learn how to stand out from other candidates when applying for cybersecurity positions.
I believe that this book will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity. Whether you are a recent graduate, a seasoned professional, or simply curious about this exciting field, this book will provide you with the information and guidance you need to succeed.
May the road ahead of you be exciting and fulfilling.
