Transferring from pen test consulting to application security?
I’ve seen it said that penetration testers are able to transition to AppSec pretty well and it’s definitely what I’m most interested in and the consulting burn out is real. I don’t have a computer science background but I’m familiar with coding and scripting and code review. Setting aside the terrible job market at the moment are there any certs or things I can do to make me more appealing for an AppSec role? I was thinking about whipping up a portfolio web site of sorts that’s similar to a vuln app that shows secure and insecure implementations of various vulnerabilities.
