Skills for the Future
Don Parker, 2008-01-31

A lot of the emails sent to me ask a basic question: Just how does one break into computer security or what skills should you learn to get that first security job. Lately though, I have been receiving many more queries on specifically how one can leverage an existing skill set to become an information-technology security analyst.

For network security, Don's advice is great. For Application security, you need additional skills. You cannot just take for granted that having one skill set, you will be comfortable with the other. It's apples and oranges and that is what most recruiters and managers don't understand.
