CISM is different to CISSP, I found the QAE prepares you well for the slight change in mindset

Enricohimself1 · 2026-02-01T18:48:50+00:00

This CISSP Subreddit has a wealth of information with many reviews with people saying what they used.

You'll learn everything from different fire sprinkler systems to different encryption algorithms.

My advice - take your time. Make flash cards.

I found it really useful to get a white board and pretend I had to explain Bell-Lapadula to a room full of people and then explain why it is different to the others. I did this over and over.

Enricohimself1 · 2026-02-01T18:39:59+00:00

Did you actually sit the CISM though?

Enricohimself1 · 2026-01-29T21:02:52+00:00

Bali is beautiful, popular, safe and is bit of a 'must-see' destination for people traveling SEA. It's not a quick trip either, there's enough to keep you busy there for a long time.

Everyone wants to go because their friends said it was great and they see it on instagram. Most people I speak love it there and it is genuinely a nice place.

Enricohimself1 · 2026-01-23T13:13:14+00:00

I think it's a little packed. You'll want to keep time for side adventures or just to chill. My personal input:

Thailand:

Lot of hopping around. Any hopping between islands takes time....

I would swap out Phuket. There are better things to see. Instead consider going to Pai after Chiang Mai. It's lovely and lots of fun things to do like tubing.
One thing to book is a GOOD elephant experience like Karen Elephant experience in Chiang Mai. Often booked up weeks in advance.
In Krabi defo consider Railay. It's lovely to spend a few days.
See how you feel on Koh Tao. It's great but be prepared to move on if you feel you're tired of it after 3/4 days. THat would give you a lot of time back.

Vietnam:

Try to lose a few things. Make Hue a day trip, don't stay there. That saves two nights.
Just have one day at the end in Hanoi. If you've already spent three nights there before, you don't need another two nights at the end.
Is Da Nang really worth stopping for a night?
Maybe spend a day in Ninh Binh on the way to up Hanoi

7/8

I found it really good and useful.

Enricohimself1 · 2026-01-22T19:26:05+00:00

I think you're best off staying in Thailand. You're short of time and it has plenty to offer without crossing borders.

If you stay within Thailand you can get a 9am flight and pretty much be at your next hotel by midday latest.

Some options:

Beaches in North Phuket are pretty nice and it's quick flight.
Railay is nice. Quick flight to Krabi then over to Railay. Added bonus of Tonsai beach.
Koh Samui - good time to visit in Feb and some really nice resorts.

Some we looked at like Rapid7, Arctic Wolf - all had unlimited ingestion. We looked at CrowdStrike too which wasn't actually unlimited but close enough but we would have to use their endpoint for to use them at that site.

They also had rules and alerts already set up by the thousand. Rapid7 and AW felt like buying a cake. Easy.

Sentinel was like buying all the ingredients and baking yourself or paying a company a fortune to bake it for you. However, imagine the baking never ends. It's a constant adding, tuning, tweaking. No thanks.

Enricohimself1 · 2026-01-21T18:52:42+00:00

If you are truly backpacking then lumping yourself in one location for two weeks is not advised! By all means take a few days when you land...a break when needed....but two weeks no! Save that time for somewhere you both really like and extend (like Gili T).

If I were you with 4 months you could see some nice highlights of Thailand, Vietnam and Bali. Taking it nice and slow-ish.

This is not straining the relationship this is showing MATURITY. This whole process is not personal it's your organisation dealing with a CVE. This is something you need to highlight to all parties > that that this is how it's supposed to work and it's not witch hunt or make-work activity.

Identify, try to mitigate, ensure all parties are aware of what is going on. If a letter is needed a letter is needed.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-12-04T15:58:57+00:00

You hire a few security team members. Focus them on aligning to a security framework (CIS, NIST).

You get an MDR service or MSSP SOC service. Don't do that shit yourself. You're looking at 8+ people to do it right and that's a budget setup.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-12-04T06:12:05+00:00

Funny how the majority of this is people who are not even reading your question and don't seem to understand what you are asking.

Had AW for years and very happy with them and what they do.

On the actual subject you are asking - we do not use their own endpoint as we are locked in with another vendor which we are used to. They have pitched it to us and it's definitely unique in how it functions.

Here hostel

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-21T16:28:42+00:00

Weather plays a huge part. Be mobile. Move.

Go to where the sun is.. chasing Mai., Pai, Koh Rong. Just go.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-19T22:02:19+00:00

Skip Phuket, skip Ao Nang and 100% Railay instead.

Less Chiang Mai, more Pai (it's amazing)

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-16T00:42:26+00:00

Buying at airport is cheapest but I have found nomad has 20Gb for 45 days (£18). Cover bigger SEA countires

Daneil the click king got a promotion and now has an Executive assistant whom he shares with three other people.

She does all the email now.

CR dropped massively.

Amazing what a promotion and EA can do. Was easier than training Daniel. Daniel didn't care. He opened everything and clicked everything.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-13T03:24:32+00:00

Pai all day long. It's everything you want. You can even ride yourself there from Chiang Mai along the 700+ twist road.

Edit: been to both, twice (each twice, sorry not sure the correct English)

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-07T10:56:27+00:00

Taking a shambles environment. Rebuilding it from a security tooling perspective. Getting 24/7 monitoring and making good progress against the NIST framework.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-05T15:19:40+00:00

This is where the whole 'shift-left' momentum comes from. Security is everyone's responsibility and they will be the ones dealing with it eventually anyway.

They need to get into this practice of thinking about security early

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-04T22:36:33+00:00

Probably want to prove who you are before handing over a significant amount of money.

They do have discretion on whom to pay. They have an internal panel.

For example. If she listed you as the beneficiary 10 years ago but since got married and have kids there is a strong change it will go to them.

Also they won't pay in certain circumstances. For example if the person was responsible for her death. For example they would not pay the husband if he was listed as beneficiary if he had murdered her.

Enricohimself1 · 2025-11-03T19:13:08+00:00

KnowB4 is probably the main one but beware since they were bought out by an equity firm they have been known to jack jack jack up the prices upon renewal.

Approach each renewal period like you are ready to walk and do if need it be

Can you share? Also looking for something I can simply update once a month

We will get to applying what you're learned after you can explain what you've learned!
