I realized while attending my first Dallas Hackers of 2020 and meeting some veterans (@ApolloDev0 & @teufelsec75) in the Vet Tec program, a newer VA initiative to get Veterans filling IT and Information Security roles to fill the gap we have right now in the world, that I have access to recruiters and the ability to possibly employ (at least interview and assist in steering) young veterans in their career.
I also realized on the way home, and after a tweet, that a lot of people want to know about free and even paid resources for Infosec, IT, etc. So I’m creating a 2 part list:
1. A list for everyone of free and paid resources
2. A list for Veterans
Everyone:
