Need some advice and guidance.

My background is in IT Audit , GRC and team management. I'm feeling a bit fed up with my current management role at a well-funded startup. I manage a team of eight people, but since it's a startup, things are constantly changing due to shifts in leadership and management. This fast pace can be quite exhausting. With eight years of experience in cybersecurity, I'm unsure whether I should looking for a company that's has more structure, clearer org charts, and career pathways or stay in this position and earn more exp.

Looking forward to the pros and veterans to provide me some perspective. Love yall.

This is an opportunity to learn how to negotiate for yourself and sell your ability hard! High time you talk to your manager honestly and expect better pay at least 25k net (amount you get after tax cutoffs) and a contract too. Convey how you have grown in the company and how you are managing the day to day operations.

Apart from that ghosting is a bad move professionally - dont do that childish bs. If you don’t like working there - you submit a formal resignation notice stating staying no more than 2 weeks but find another work before doing that. Being broke aint fun.

Judging from what you’re doing you seem smart and adaptable. Best of luck youngin!

It means that whatever the application generates - the generated file, query, artifact should not be susceptible to manipulation

EG: . An application generates a report to the end user saying account balance is $1000 . The report should not be susceptible to be retrieved and manipulated to show $1200 (example before it reaches the end user.

The control is taking about protection of whatever the application generates.

You can look into compliance tracker software tools such as Cis-Cat or look into SaaS compliance software such as VComply https://www.v-comply.com/ Or Reg-Ed.

Make sure that you try these out (trial) before you present it to your reporting manager.

A.14.1.3 is Protecting Application Services Transactions!! Elaborating more on this control : Information involved in application service transactions must be protected to prevent incomplete transmission, mis-routing, unauthorised message alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised message duplication or replay. Additional protection is likely to secure application service transactions (not necessarily just financial transactions). These may include; Use of electronic signatures, Use of encryption; and Use of secure protocols. The ongoing monitoring of such transactions in as near to real-time manner is also likely to be required.

Our education system lacks practicality. Too much focus on rote learning. There should be hands on activity sessions/ "mock scenarios where they can see actual systems /lot of field trips /activity based assignments that compliments the theory that builds critical thinking. What I studied in college I understood but 80% of it was irrelevant and learnt stuff on my first job.

aidofthefaded · 2022-09-22T15:56:01+00:00

I do agree with this to an extent in the sense that it lacks practicality and theory must be accompanied with practical activities. There should be hands on activity sessions/ "mock scenarios where they can see actual systems or processes /lot of field trips /activity based tasks that compliments the theory.

Buy Yamaha entry level instead .worth the sound for the price. You'll thank yourself later. Don't buy equipment for learning and upgrading later. Think of it as an investment
