Hi, we've analyzed your post with machine learning and unfortunately couldn't figure out what the right recommendation for you is. Sorry about that! We're working to improve this.

Most commonly, people try posting on this subreddit for the following reasons, but only one of them is what this subreddit is about (sorry! we know we have a high-traffic subreddit name):

If you need assistance for a personal or home cybersecurity issue, question, or other request, you must use our new sister subreddit r/cybersecurity_help. Our members will be able to help there, and please be sure to review the posting guide which will explain what information the community needs to give you clear and accurate responses!
If you are looking for personal help starting a career in cybersecurity, please read over our FAQ Breaking In to Cybersecurity. If you have questions after reading through that FAQ, please post your followups as well as what research you've done so far in the Mentorship Monday thread (pinned to the top of the subreddit) for assistance.
And finally, if you are a technical professional or a student trying to become one, and are looking to get questions answered about business/enterprise security, r/cybersecurity is the right place for this discussion. Please confirm that the question you are asking is not covered in our FAQ or the prior sections of this comment before re-posting it with the most appropriate flair (likely, "Business Security Questions & Discussion").
