:: History :: Security BSides DFW 2011 - November 5, 2011 (Philip J Beyer) - http://lanyrd.com/skymy :: Summary :: I will present details of how I transitioned from security consultant to program leader from vision to practice and planning for the future. :: Abstract :: If you want to go from a sedentary life to running a marathon, you have to have a plan. If you want to go from a consulting life to owning a security program, you also have to have a plan. Much like a 'Couch to 5K' running program, that plan will require vision, persistent effort, and a clear set of goals. I'll share my plan, what has worked so far and what didn't, and how you can design your own.
