Hello! My name is Mike and I am an infosec engineer with 10+ years experience. I’ve worked in GRC, Vulnerability Management, PenTesting & AppSec. I have 17 SANS certs (I have a serious problem) and I’m also an infosec community enthusiast and creator/mod for /c/cybersecurity. AMA!

Hi Mike.

I am interested in roles that marry the Cloud, Networking and Cybersecurity together. What would such a role look like? Is there a demand for something like this? I’m not a programmer, and don’t think I’ll be a good fit for application/operating system security. But Networking security is easier for me to jump into, and I hear that roles in this industry are fairly well paid?

I’m looking to progress my career in a path related to the Cloud, and wanted to explore cybersecurity rather than just going for the Cloud architect role (or maybe they are somewhat connected the higher up you go? I’m so confused).

Thanks for your time. I’m very interested in some of the SANS courses you mentioned, I’ll take a look. Thanks!

Thanks, it’s just that I’ve heard that a lot of roles related to DevOps involve programming + LeetCode grind which looks to be beyond me. But I’ll check thanks

I think this describes a lot of enterprise cloud security architect roles. I think there is enough delineation between cloud security folks who focus on infrastructure versus those who are more focused on the app/product side. I’d go take a look at the cloud certs from AWS/Azure and see if there is one that looks fun to you. Those certs are typically mapped to common job roles.
