• One of the best ways to get experience

    11 May 2009

    People often ask me what’s the best way to get a job in the information security field and I often reply with getting hands-on experience, that’s the key. I delve into this topic in my audio programs Getting Started in Security and Certifications, Degrees, or Experience – What’s Best for Your Security Career?. In fact, this very question was the basis and inspiration for me to create those audio programs.

    Well, here’s a bit in last week’s Wall Street Journal that also talks about this very thing. If you’re just out of college, changing careers, or somehow want to get hands-on experience in a real-world business, this is a great way to go about it. It may not pay well – or at all – but right now, in today’s world, gaining experience is very likely the most important thing you can be doing to break into the field and advance your career.

Client Testimonials

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.

His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
