alt Hacker NewsAs an “actual” software engineer, what do you recommend me to read to work in cybersecurity? Assume I have a solid background in OS internals, algos, networking, software engineering. I have never worked in cybersecurity though (I have never reversed engineered anything)
What do you specialize in as a SWE? Can you identify architectural or implementation bugs and think about how an attacker can exploit that to laterally move across your environment?
Cybersecurity is basically a wholistic architectural review of software that takes business, engineering, and operational context into account to make a qualified judgment about risk.
