I heard an interview with Marisa Fagan during one of the Eurotrash podcast and was interested in learning more about the Infosec Mentor program. I'm not claiming to be an expert in any field but I do remember what it was like many years ago being thrust into the IT Security field straight out of school and think there's tremendous value in programs such as this.
I gave it a bit of thought and offered to act as a mentor and after filling in a quick survey am waiting to hear back. I have heard that there are currently more mentees than mentors so if you are interested in volunteering please consider offering a bit of your time. From past experience, I find that I also benefit from these experiences as there is nothing like fielding questions to really keep you on your toes.
There's a planned meet up coming up in conjunction with the Security bsidesLV which is another awesome event. As I cannot offer much in the way of a technical talk at this point, I figured I could help out by offering to take a few security shifts during the event.
