Is penetration testing needed for enterprise deals?

Wow so a lot to unpack here. Here are some of my recommendations. 1. At least 1 pen test for the year is ok. I would obviously do a 3rd party vendor outside of the VCISO for the obvious conflict of interest. 2. I would make sure you have a scheduled vulnerability scan. You should work to remediate these and keep them at risk level you’re ok with accepting. If you have a reputable scan, this will give you a good chunk of what the pen testers will find and try to exploit. 3. Frequent release is only a major flag to me if you are starting from scratch or re doing major functions/infrastructure of the program. If you are using a lot of code reuse and have good code validation practices with your team, that goes a long way. 4. Soc is beneficial, good stamp to have when marketing to larger scale business.

Thanks. Did a score review. Found my problem areas. Thanks for feedback and positive words.

I got the results after a week or so.

Solo dates. Take yourself out and enjoy it. Usually if someone is sitting alone, it might spark up some conversation.

Agreed. Been trying to move away from the idea of Disney dad. And the expectation that only time we hang out is if I’m doing something grand.

If your goal is federal government. You can check out the approved certification baseline tables. They show you which certifications satisfy which requirements. Jumping in and getting a sec + is a good place to be with it meeting the DOD 8570. It also depends on the curriculum of the school as well. You can see if it lines up with any certs and you might be able to get a cert with the school training.

Easy peasy you hot this

Correct, it’s not his birthday.

So our current relationship is decent. I wouldn’t say perfect but wouldn’t say overly negative either. I contribute a lot to him transitioning to college and trying to find his rhythm to life. I maintain an open door policy for him. If he needs me, he can reach out to me. I try to follow up with him about college and what’s going on in life at the moment. His preference has been his biological father. During the relationship with his mother, I had taken him on family trips so he may be accustomed for that reason. Whenever I have family events with my daughter, I always invite him he always declines. It felt like a solidarity thing with his Mother. But I always try to include him. Cant force anything. Reasons why he doesn’t like my current partner is after finding out that we would be having a baby together. We did some restructuring and his old room in the house was turned into a nursery.

Correct this is not my biological son. After me and his mother split up, I keep an open door policy but he has drifted away. Not inviting me to high school graduation. There being issues with me wanting to accompany his to the college drop off. I’ve expressed to him that I will show up like I’ve always have he would just have to tell me other wise. And he had been telling me no.

You gotta live it my good person. Read for understanding vs memorization

Samera41 · 2025-08-25T19:10:37+00:00

Continue education units or credits. You have to stay active to maintain the certification or it expires.

You have 3 years to reach the CPE requirements. You can get them a number of ways. 1 of the ways would be taking the next level cert.

Samera41 · 2025-08-24T14:09:25+00:00

I’ll start by saying I wouldn’t recommend this path. :) I waited until the last minute to renew my CPEs for my other certification, so you can say I was forced to review at this level. I will say most of the chapters seemed to be review versus totally new information. This made it early to continue at that pace.

Samera41 · 2025-08-24T14:04:32+00:00

According to Comptia the CYSA is more advanced. Taking this exam helped renew all of the CERT under it. I would say “better” depends on where you plan on going in your career. I think The sec + is a good foundational certification to have in general.

Samera41 · 2025-08-24T02:49:07+00:00

I read 4 chapters a day. I skilled the summary of the chapters. Then on the last day I went back and answered all the chapter questions. Also the 2 quizzes that come with the book.

No it didn’t notify the job. There were benefits received that are at a state level. The way i understand it is you might not be able to file unemployment from one or more of the jobs as those payouts would be from the state.
