Jeff Pollard, a principal analyst at Forrester Research, began his security career around 12 years ago. He found the perfect fit for the next chapter of his career at the company. Pollard: “Its a paradise for the autodidact. If you are willing and able to educate yourself, you can grow” He recommends that you don’t have to have the industry experience in order to work your way into the position. The people working in security are either those who entered the field by accident or because they love it.”]
