The First 180 Days
A handbook for each security role, about the choices you will make in your first six months and how not to panic now that you are here. They follow time, from your first day to month six, and answer the questions people are often too shy to ask. Every chapter ends with one lab or tool, so you can practise the decision before it is real.
