General question but how do y'all actually find a mentor? I feel like there's probably a local group nearby me or something that I could look into but are there places/people that are more likely to say "yes, I will mentor you" in y'all's experience?
Tanya Janca (https://infosec.exchange/@SheHacksPurple) has a thread for mentoring on her Mastodon weekly (https://infosec.exchange/@SheHacksPurple/110690887324427507). There's a ton of communities (https://shellsharks.com/getting-into-information-security#online-communities) to ask around too. What type of mentorship are you looking for?
@[email protected] Sorry, was offline for a few days! Not really sure what I'm looking for, honestly? Mostly someone to kind of push me for doing more/exploring more? I'd like to focus in on AI security as well as container security and I know I can start that work on my own -- I just know it's easier/more likely for me to do things if I have someone filling in the blanks on things I don't know that I don't know. I'll start with those there (been following She Hacks Purple and InfoSec Sherpa for a bit) and see if any long hanging fruit shakes lose from the tree, thanks again!
I’ve seen some good AI-related security things out of OWASP lately and some container security stuff from DataDog if you want to do a little googling.
