Hi all,
I'm new to #infosec and don't really have any colleagues/contacts in the industry.
I've been a software engineer for a long time and am about to embark on my final capstone project for my Master in Cybersecurity.
I'm sending this toot to try and find out where people turn for their news and ideas for research areas?
Thanks very much :)
@edwardsmatt I have suggestions for the news front, I'll not try to answer the others as your area's too different from mine 😛
