Conference – Graeme Robinson's blog / A place for my thoughts when I was starting to break into the information security feild Wed, 30 Oct 2024 17:15:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 I got a job at an information security company! /i-got-a-job-at-an-information-security-company/ Wed, 11 Oct 2017 19:46:34 +0000 /?p=310 Continue reading →]]> In a previous blog post, I said that I attended B-Sides London earlier this year. It turns out that was probably one of the best things I’ve done this year because, not only was it very enjoyable, but I ended up speaking to a quite a lot of people while I was there, including some people that worked at security companies that were recruiting and I ended up getting a job at a company that is well known in the infosec world.

It was about time I moved on from my previous position, and this is a real step up for me. I’ve been working there for a few weeks now and I’m really enjoying it, the work is fun and interesting, the working environment is brilliant. It’s just great to be working in a field that I’m interested in and be somewhere that cares about career progression.

There were so many interesting talks and loads of great people to chat to (and potential job opportunities). I even won a wristband which game me access to the MWR sponsored afterparty with free drinks 🙂

The most entertaining talk by far was by @info_dox titled “A look at TR-06FAIL and other CPE Configuration Disasters”. Darren showed up with a pint in his hand and proceeded to tell us all about the problems with the Broadband Forum‘s protocols and their various implementations.

I came away with a bit of swag too, 3 T-Shirts, and a signed copy of “Breaking Into Information Security by Andy Gill (which reminds me, I must get in contact with him for the digital copy he promised me).

I’d like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers who made it such a great event. Hopefully in the future, I’ll be able to give something back by helping out at one of these events, or something similar.
