Episode Synopsis

Our today's guest is Jyothsna Lekkala.   I briefly met Jyothsna in the OWASP Slack channel. Finding her in Slack and sending her an interview request was a new move for me.  Jyothsna's session is the first video in this space in 2021. It feels so refreshing to be back. Plus, I loved hearing her story - it's inspirational, sweet, and has a good flow.   You would see system admins, network admin, or developers slowly switching to InfoSec. Jyothsna's story is different. She is originally from the Test Automation field. I liked one thing she said - 'You can have any special skill or background, and that will become your strength in InfoSec.' For her, it is her Mathematics background and test automation experience that make her unique. I agree with her when she says, 'InfoSec has space for all these special skills'.   Watch till the end to hear her suggestions on the books you should consider reading. I'm planning to read some of them in the coming days.
