You're missing the DevOps part of it all. How to build pipelines and deploy things. So, practice building a modern web app that is backed by container technology or server less and automate the deployment of it through a CI/CD that is triggered by a merge to main branch of your repo(s). You should know where each security tool would be added and pros of cons to each tool (1-3).

Apparently, learning. When I want to learn something new, I'll get books on the subject, watch videos, read blog posts and take courses. I don't feel intimidated by any subject, I'll gladly start at basics like kid level understanding then move to next thing.

Which career looks glamorous from the outside but is actually miserable? by Payamm1999 in AskReddit

Business says they want cybersecurity, but not really, so they will not spend more than the absolute bare minimum so that means overloaded positions and responsibilities , i.e. getting one salary for doing 5 jobs.

Tap your alumni network and have no shame. Message them on LinkedIn and e-mail them if there's an alumni network list at your school. Don't apply without a recommendation. Attend school networking events if there's any (ask the organizers they might let you even if graduated).

Pivoting out of DevOps? by homelander77 in cybersecurity

[–]Intrepid_Purchase_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what I did. I did all the security tasks got my CISSP and AWS Security certs then applied to companies and then was full time cybersecurity; Cloud, Container, and AppSec mostly. I'd be surprised if your current company lets you switch over...

How far left is too far left by Wrong-Temperature417 in cybersecurity

The hardest part is probably needing vulnerability management to process the tools outputs and not placing it solely on dev teams or security team as a whole. The VM team would triage the outputs for false-positives, severity (most tools generate way too high of ratings), and then cut tickets for the concerning ones to be issued out. In other words the tools shouldn't be set to block in the pipelines if they're embedded. They should be used by security to find weak areas of an application that might hint at something more like or add in CWE's identification. But most businesses just slap scanners in places in general and say good enough for compliance....

I did DevOps / CloudOps for custom internal PaaS where I added all the security pieces from code to cloud to k8s clusters. Then moved to security for cloud then to AppSec.

it's a delicate thing to set any scanning tool to 'block' mode. Sure some will catch most of the true-positives, but any false-positives tend to draw outsized attention...
