    Looking for resources (books/blogs/videos) on how to get started with getting into cyber security. I’ve got 13 years of work experience of which 10 as a Linux sysadmin/SRE/DevOps (it’s a culture, not a role) and 3 years as a software developer. I understand the field is wide and there’s many positions I could look getting into.

    I get along with people well and have worked as a consultant before, so I could see doing that at some point as a contractor once I’ve got more experiencing in the field. Generally I’m not a big fan of working at big companies, but don’t mind doing gigs for them.

    I guess familiarizing myself with pentest and other tooling would be a good start?
