Overview
Join Ismael and Justin to learn about their journey of how they became all-around defenders. In this webcast, they will each share their personal story and adventures into information security. Life's journey is odd. One minute your washing semi-trucks, and the next youre consulting and authoring SANS courses. Learn how this happened and areas you may replicate in your own personal journey.

This webcast is the first of a three-part series aimed to help you level up in becoming an all-around defender. In this series, we will be helping you to define what it means to be an all-around defender, as well as how to get hands-on experience by building your personal lab. The first part of the series shares Ismael and Justin's life journey into becoming an all-around defender. The second and third part of the series aims to share how to build your own home lab to mirror enterprise level defenses.
