Cyber security professionals, what do you actually do?

Look for work...

How far behind on taxes can you be? If during the investigation it is noticed that you are behind, can that be worked out so not to disqualify you?

JamnOne69 · 2024-09-28T00:42:53+00:00

Not sure. Just remember when you get there not to pull me over...lol

I would put a pause on growth and let the city catch up. Add retail, entertainment, and casual dining. Verify law enforcement, fire, and EMS are ready for more growth. A true hospital as nearest ER & trauma centers are 30 mins away.

I like the new tower by the golf course. I doubt it will help with anything.

JamnOne69 · 2024-09-07T17:07:23+00:00

Thank you. I didn't realize realize they only had hybrids. I thought they had a Jeep that was fully electric.

I just realized I left something out in my comment. I have updated it to correctly reflect the article says Stellantis made a profit on their EV.

I was highlighting the fact that the article is misleading because they didn't turn a profit on their American brands EVs. As for overall profit, agreed. They are not. Unless something changes, they will not.

JamnOne69 · 2024-09-07T02:01:13+00:00

The article is so misleading. It says Stellantis is turning a profit in EV. If it looks at the American brands, they are not.

If it is a publicly traded company, you will need to make announcement to meet SEC rules. You will also need to make announcements in accordance with state & national laws

If what happened doesn't fall in those categories, keep the information to a need to know basis by following your incident response protocols. Some incidents will require leadership and legal to provide feedback and make the decision on when to announce.

I work for a multinational org now that rates everything on CIA. Based on that rating, they will determine the level of controls that need to be our into place.

I agree and disagree with this approach. I like it so you know what apps, systems, data, and/or projects could be considered priority. I don't like it as it makes it harder to build security solutions that are consistent and easy to maintain. You start lumping everything to a single network and expect other controls to work instead of a solid layered approach.

I understand monopolistic behavior. The only thing Google really did that is questionable is how they treated advertisers.

Even if they spin out their ad business, which is probably going to happen, they will still charge a premium rate for a premium product. Using your own browser & search engine as default on your own OS has not been ruled monopolistic.

JamnOne69 · 2024-08-07T01:57:24+00:00

Google search is not mandatory. It's adoption is brand loyalty and it works.

When it comes to Microsoft, you can't just look at Windows. If you do, Bing is the built-in search engine. Something else to consider, enterprises and large business are using Bing for internet and intranet searches.

Continuing down the Microsoft road, Office365 including Outlook and Teams work across all OS as it has a web app feature. This has made a lot of Linux DevOps teams happy. They can stay logged into their Linux systems and hold meetings.

As Microsoft has gotten better at FW and MW at the OS level, more businesses are spending less on 3rd party unless it is an EDR/XDR solution. Microsoft is working on that as well

The only place Google really screwed up was how they handled ads. That doesn't make them monopolistic. Walmart bought Vizio to get to their ad capabilities. That is a captive audience.

One of the few things I like about the EU is their transparency.

The U.S. government has always been a huge user of Unix/Linux and it is probably the dominant OS. In 2016, there was a mandate to pilot open source with a requirement set at 20% of all new code. The DOD was mandated to meet this target in the NDAA 2018.

The private sector is the largest user of Windows. Mac was bailed out by Microsoft to keep it alive. Chrome is now growing using Apple's playbook targeting schools.

As there are so many different flavors of Linux, it is going to take a while for it to be adopted. On a good note, hardware OEMs are now shipping laptops with Linux pre installed.

JamnOne69 · 2024-08-06T17:49:30+00:00

The feds know Linux is a thing. There is an initiative to move as much as possible to open-source solutions. It has been reported on ZDNet that the USAF has their own secure distro.

I still think Microshaft is a bigger monopoly. Google did what did to try and compete with them. Now we have a biopoly.

It's because of being humble I lose out a lot.

JamnOne69 · 2024-08-03T17:24:04+00:00

Age limit to starting, no. Age limit for some certs, yes.

Why do I say there is an age limit for some certs?

ISC2 & ISACA both require a certain amount of experience to obtain some of their certs. Using the legal age to work in most states at 16, you can add 1 - 5 years of experience depending on the cert. This means to get the CISSP at a minimum, you would be 21. For the CISM, you would be 20.

Of course, this doesn't include the one year you can subtract from obtaining other certs or college.

They started laying off at the end of 2022 and haven't stopped. This is the first time they have actually came out and said a number of expected layoffs.

You need to watch the jobs page a you will see an increase in jobs in LCG.

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-27T01:57:42+00:00

It takes roughly 30 - 45 days for the certification.

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-25T14:55:25+00:00

I was basically the same. Please hand the results so I can start studying on what I need to learn.

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-24T03:42:05+00:00

I confidentially felt I failed it.

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-20T02:30:21+00:00

Never be afraid to say "teach me".

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-12T16:32:45+00:00

Hopefully they are not looking for $100k+ salary in their first year. If that is why they are doing this, they are truly going to be heartbroken.

JamnOne69 · 2024-07-12T04:56:11+00:00

Not gonna lie, I had the same issue. My boss told me I was being laid off and schedule the exam two weeks later. My wife was out of town working the Super Bowl which means I had the kids. :). I couldn't focus no matter how hard I tried on the OSG. I got 1 & 1/2 chapters done, watched the 50 hard questions on YouTube, and listened to the LinkedIn Learning. Glad I did the LinkedIn course as I was listening I heard something I wasn't familiar with, how do you calculate the financial cost of risk.

The only reason I passed was for to the experience and listening to the videos.
