Establishing Trust in Information Security
In cybersecurity, code quality and security discipline are scrutinized far more rigorously than in general web development. Hiring managers inspecting a security researcher's GitHub profile look for clean repository governance, absence of hardcoded API secrets, responsible disclosure policies, and demonstrable offensive/defensive acumen.
Whether your specialty is Cloud Security, AppSec, Binary Exploitation, or Threat Hunting, your README is your public security portfolio.
