A Bored CISO Seeking More Hands-On Work
CybersecurityCareer DevelopmentFreelancingSalary
A CISO with over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity and multiple certifications (CISSP, CISM, CISA, CEH, OSCP, GCIH, GPEN, GCFA) expresses boredom in their current role. After working as a SOC Analyst, SOC Lead, Penetration Tester, Red Teamer, Security Architect, and GRC Lead, they no longer wish to manage organizational aspects and convince others of the importance of security. They are considering freelance work but find the salaries for SOC Analyst and Pentesting/Red Teaming roles in Europe unattractive.
