@hacks4pancakes @http_error_418 back in my day I could get into infosec because I am a white cishet dude with white cishet dude friends who helped me into #infosec. Admittedly I came from an IT background of a couple of years, but so did everybody else then.

I probably wouldn’t make it into this field nowadays. Not because white cishet dudes don’t gatekeep for and help other white cishet dudes any more. I’m sure that’s still exactly the same.

But because I would lack the experience and certifications required nowadays.
