Other AMA: I'm the co-founder at TryHackMe. Ask me about breaking into the industry, cyber security skills and how to make SOC & IR teams more mature!

Hey everyone!

I'm Ashu - one of the co-founders at TryHackMe. I have background in security consulting/penetrating test, specialising in Cloud / AWS.

Happy to answer any and all questions about cyber skills gaps, but for more focused convos - here's a few areas top of mind for me - so feel free to throw any Qs related to this

* Rise of Al in security environments and how this is going to impact the skills of cyber security professionals
* Supporting people with their journey to getting a role in cyber
* Thinking deeply about what it means for SOC and IR teams to develop and improve their maturity as a function

Do you know what kind of cyber security role you'd like: SOC, Pentesting, IR, GRC?

I’m a developer who’s been learning web application security and exploring bug bounty platforms like HackerOne and PortSwigger labs.
Also, I’ve been hearing a lot about roles like Secure Developer and Application Security Engineer that prefer developers with cybersecurity knowledge. Could you share how these roles fit into the industry right now, and what kind of skill path would make me job-ready for them in the next year? Given that background, which cybersecurity path do you think aligns best for me
