Hey K.I! Amazon has different pay bands for each role. So security engineers get paid a different amount than SDE's.

Hey Shreyas! I would recommend starting with the foundations and learning about the first principles of security. The Security+ certification is a good way to start. LinkedIn Learning courses/Udemy courses are a great way to get hands on project experience. I personally like the ethical hacking learning path on LinkedIn Learning. And a good security book I recently read was Security Engineering by Ross Anderson.
