I Mentor and Now You Can Too
Casey Dunham at BSides Boston 2017
The hacker community has a reputation of a lust for knowledge and for sharing that knowledge with others. It is one of the reasons there are so many conferences and local meetups where we are all volunteering our time to educate and help others. While knowledge sharing at these events is great, it doesn't replace having someone that you can go to for those trickier questions about technology, practices, or career advice.
This is where having a Mentor comes in. Mentoring is a great way to help others find their path in the ever growing Information Security field. Regardless of what team you play for, you have knowledge and experience that can help others be successful.
To be a successful Mentor takes more than just knowledge. It takes patience, skill, organization, and a passion for learning and teaching. This presentation will walk through some of the challenges I've faced as a Mentor and what you can do to be a successful Mentor.
