Is DevSecOps a realistic move from content?
I work for a Fortune 100 company that just had a bloodbath of layoffs. I have a job for now but I’m assuming it’s not secure.
I’m a PR reviewer in content. I have a deep interest in cybersecurity and work on my tech skills daily. I’m looking to build a portfolio over the next 3-6 months. That said, you could say I’m “baby tech.” (Might be imposter syndrome talking—according to my very “I’m a copy editor at core” colleagues, I’m tech-savvy. I definitely have a figure-it-out mentality.)
I know GitHub well, use it daily, use Git Bash, and I am learning Linux and AWS.
My thinking is that I may go into AI trust and safety/compliance but at some point I’d want to move into DevSecOps. Is this realistic? Oh, and I’m going on 54.
AI tells me this is a great idea but I’m thinking I need some HITL lol. Regardless, beefing up my tech skills doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Thanks for any responses.
