I went the start from scratch route, after doing help desk then moving to something like post sales and QA, my resume was picked off monster because I was located near the place that needed entry level type intrusion analysts. Back then getting moved or promoted into other areas was easy if you demonstrated aptitude and a willingness to learn more. I think the same holds true today, but finding those doors in can be harder with established SOCs and similar who often are more critical of experience and may be looking for more senior people. You almost need an internship type program.
