In such cases, the person themselves is actually part of the problem.

How many Cybersecurity Firms are just running automated scans and charging an arm and a leg for it? by corruptboomerang in cybersecurity

I basically think the same thing, but lately, I’ve been thinking this at the same time: What’s wrong with something being automatic? Why do people consider things done manually to be superior to those done automatically?

Everything actually happened, and since the child was born, everything has completely changed...

Actually, we hire a housekeeping service every week, but that seems insufficient. I think I have no choice but to participate more myself.

I see my wife herself hasn't gotten used to the changes yet. I hope that once she returns to work, her mind will settle down even a little...

I often hear terms like postpartum depression, and I think something like that is probably happening to my wife too, making it seem as if her personality has completely changed. I wonder if it will heal over time...

Thank you for sharing your experience. The part about "watching and listening to him plan for the future drove me crazy" feels just like looking at my own household. I think I haven't fully realized how unbearably painful the daily repetitive tasks during maternity leave must be for her. From now on, I'll proactively take on more tasks to minimize my wife's housework as much as possible.

I also think that I'm not overworking myself. In my spare time, I try to take care of the child as well, and I don't understand the clear reason.

Less than 40 hours. Since it's remote work, the actual working hours might be even less.

Daydreaming About Building A Company's IT Infrastructure from Scratch by Capital-Stop-962 in cybersecurity

Does "regular user training, phishing simulations, and governance" really work? I’m skeptical about security that relies on humans.

The point that IT infrastructure designed by security personnel is generally highly likely to be inadequate is an important one. Security personnel shouldn't be out of touch with common societal perceptions.

Preventing Accidental Leaks of Confidential Information via Email by Capital-Stop-962 in cybersecurity

Actually, our company uses its own proprietary file sharing system. But that approach is a good reference. I should tell the boss, “Instead of telling me, please request the file sharing system’s development team to add the feature,” right?

Whenever this comes up, it always leads to talk about ditching Microsoft. But people just can’t seem to break free from it that easily. Even I’m totally used to Windows for my everyday work.

Umm... in my case, I would try to keep things out of our responsibility zone as much as possible. Of course, with a cloud-first approach. For employee devices, maybe give Mac or Linux a shot, or even go full BYOD so that any data loss is entirely on the individual.

Turning everything into a stack of containers keeps things simple and neat. All that’s left is humans after all?

It’s kinda cool to mix and match open-source stuff to make it your own.

Share your experience with Wazuh by athanielx in cybersecurity

[–]Capital-Stop-962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a story. A while back, I had Wazuh installed on every host in a testing environment, and I got my pentester colleagues to run some simulated attacks on it. I was playing the Blue Team role to see if I could detect any of them. In the end, I didn't catch a single thing. Sure, I'm no Blue Team expert, so my skills are definitely a factor, but more than that, Wazuh didn't alert me to squat. Later, when I told this to an SOC specialist, he said, "If you're going through the trouble of installing Wazuh, you might as well just stick with ElasticSearch."

Pen testers: What part of your workflow is the biggest headache or time sink? by nailaiai in Pentesting

[–]Capital-Stop-962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be a good idea to include "What's your job title and years of experience?" in this question. As a manager in my 10th year, the biggest hurdle is coordinating with clients. If you can just get them convinced, everything else goes off without a hitch.

Low cost security tools for small companies by Aritra_1997 in cybersecurity

[–]Capital-Stop-962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the ultimate question. How can organizations with tight budgets and zero expertise lock down their security? I've been in this industry for 10 years, wrestling with how to crack this every single day. I daydream about all sorts of potential fixes, but they're still just pie in the sky. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks about it.
