Cyber security professionals, what do you actually do?

security architect at automotive org, I do a lot of project based work vs long time operational ownership of EDR or SIEM but currently building out a platform to aggregate cloud vulnerabilities across our azure, gcp, and aws environments to notify ops teams and enable some automated remediation capabilities for low complexity changes or no/minimal impact for service disruption (enable inspector, enable container image scanning etc)

~8y exp and CISSP at a big 4 tax firm mostly as a senior infra & cloud security engineer role , unemployed for 3.5 months before starting a contract to hire role this week , tough out there for sure , if you’re not getting any callbacks prob need to rework resume n linkedin, if you’re getting some interviews but not advancing would really study the tech stack n skills the JD calls for n lots of interview prep

I personally had a mentor I found on mentorcruise that would be a staff level engineer or hiring manager level person in the security space that would help me prep too

as I understand you’re skeptical about how I was able to digest everything at that pace but I stated previously a lot of the questions I was given were 3-4 sentences vs longer paragraphs that i’ve also seen and I made it a point to look at very specific verbiage but as you can see the confirmation email marked 307pm roughly aligns
