Editor's Notes
- Can I get a quick show of hands, who here is currently working in cyber security? Who is currently working in another field of IT? That’s helpful to know. I hope that everyone can take something away from this presentation.
- I’m a big fan of stoic philosophy, and Socrates was a stoic during his time. This quote is extremely relevant to cybersecurity and I think anyone who has worked in cyber security would agree. There’s a lot to know. Security Domains Security Tools Underlying Infrastructure Cyber includes a lot, and is always changing.
- Personal Mission What I do This quote I adapted from something (John Visneski, Director of Information Security for Pokemon Company International) once said. (Read)
- In order to understand where we’re going, we need to know where we’ve been. Types of Cybersecurity Openings (Not everyone’s a CISO) Outside of the business focus… is cyber as it relates to National Security (Far behind other nations)
- Listed here are the three strategies we’ll be reviewing, and that I highly recommend you pursue, for standing out in cybersecurity. (pause)
- First up is the idea of having a home lab. I always recommend everyone start a home lab, and the first response I get is that they don’t have the resources. Experience that you can leverage Don’t just read the instructions
- Personal Case Study Time! I had a problem… My wife and I liked to play local multi-player games, but most games stopped including that feature.
- So I built STASYS, a multi-headed gaming PC. An ESX server hosting two virtual windows gaming rigs. Each had a dedicated graphics card and experienced zero latency because of the hardware pass-through. Another benefit was that this provided me with a personal, virtual environment for deploying, testing, and learning about other platforms.
- Second strategy I have is to volunteer your time. When you’re still building your skills you might not have enough experience to get hired directly into a cybersecurity role. Hands on w/ enterprise tools As well as highlight… (last paragraph) Mention link Word of caution, experience needed
- Personal Case Study Time! I’m currently volunteering with… PDC provides… (first paragraph) New Equipment > Identity Access Controls and Security Policy They also needed an updated security system… Currently looking for donations!
- Now, for our third and final strategy, getting into an internship. For this one I’m going to flip the script! Let’s start with my personal case study! SRP Experience Built on Learning Highlight Bubbles (Configuration Management Database) Extremely helpful in developing my current skill set
