I have been doing programming for more than 10 years using various programming languages on multiple platforms/technologies/protocols.

I am thinking to switch my career and become a security domain expert. How do I get started? I would appreciate any tutorials, books, blogs which would help me to gain security domain knowledge.

I would like to focus on wireless security domain.
