This short essay offers practical advice for people seeking mentorship in information security, suggesting they first clarify what kind of support they need (mentor, peer, partner, coach, or community), look for local or workplace contacts, and explicitly propose the relationship and expectations. It also recommends publishing work (e.g., blogging) to build a reputation and track progress, and notes that lighter-weight interactions may be sufficient instead of a long-term mentor.
