As I've looked at my own path and helped others along their journey, there is a framework for success in information security. My goal in writing this book is give you the confidence to grow your own career in information security. I've analyzed my career and the careers of others to design a plan to build a successful career in information security. My focus is on how you can use the content you know along with broadening your knowledge to give you an advantage in getting a promotion or moving to a new opportunity. In the short term, this book can be your mentor to guiding your career. As you will read in the chapters in this book, I encourage you to get your own mentor to help you on a day-to-day basis with the unique problems you may face. (And make sure they've read the book too!)
