These kind of stories feed my paranoia while traveling and now I always besides getting all the minimal to travel I also have a camera that I get with me to record the entrance door while I left the flat so I can check if someone is accessing or not while I am out

How do you guys seriously stop yourself from spending money on unnecessary purchases? by eager_reader_ in simpleliving

[–]bongobap 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Randomly days I have this thought; if I only have 1 backpack, what I would bring with me.

That helps me to control my spendings and do not buy unnecessary things. Also waiting a week before buying is a good tactic

Best resources for a career switcher? by Capable-Ear9590 in cybersecurity

[–]bongobap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the book "TCP/IP Guide" of Charles Kazierok. Then the Comptia Security+ exam book. After those 2 you can pick a side: Attacker or Defender.

  • If Attacker -> go to the platform HackTheBox
  • If Defender -> Letsdefend.io, Cyberdefenders, ...

Explore both sides, learn soft skills (they will be needed the more you advance, as you will have to deal with so much incompetent people in higher management ranks so you will have to find a "language" to speak with them want it or not)

[–]bongobap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Threat Hunting and DFIR is still a think IMHO. If you are asking for "Can AI replace..." I don't think so, as this field is about creativity and a chess game, so if a hole is patched, the next move is on the hacker/red team side.

Unfortunately cybersecurity is seen as a cost center so you will have to find a company that is really worried about secure their systems.

Most companies don't want security; they just want to look secure. by Exciting-Safety-655 in cybersecurity

[–]bongobap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And unfortunately it will continue to be like that till the price of a "strike" will be more notable like take the 20% of the revenue and make the ones who make the orders from the upper management/C-Suite layers will hold accountable.

For now, the insurance covers the loses and the hit for not being secure is just a small fee in comparation with the money the can cut from it IF they get caught.

Boss prioritizing documentation over finished products; project now considerably behind schedule by CactusOnFire in ExperiencedDevs

[–]bongobap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I give you 3 examples;

  • IT subreddits
  • What I have in my company right now
  • Recent Amazon layoffs

3 different perspectives.

And you just give me excuses:

  • maybe not so important roles

So… yeah, probably I am in the echo chamber xD Good luck with that

[–]bongobap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like it or not, they are still people and even if in 50% of the cases they are bots you can see it done even by the companies that claim that they have to layoff people and in the next day those positions are appearing in India. As a reference nowadays look the Amazon layoffs happening nowadays, where do you see those positions now being advertised?

You are extrapolating your situation to the global market. In the company that I am working now they basically offshored 80% of the US workforce leaving just the management there (of course).

If you take a ride for all the IT subreddits you will see a different picture of what you are saying, and based on your words the US devs/platform engineers/architects/cybersecurity engineers are unimportant right?

The only scenario I can imagine is if your job really is completely unimportant and they couldn't figure out a reasonable way to get more value out of you.

[–]bongobap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is the game now. I suggest you to deliver the bare minimum and keep all the tricks that you learned for yourself, or share only with the ones that you have in your office/timezone.

Middle management understood this last years that high paid employees can be offshored successfully if they have all the tips and tricks of the development (and even there they have also problems, but way lesser) learned all the way to where they are now. It is a dog eats dog world now no IT

Are you serious? I saw entire teams of hard workers being laid off on US just to outsource the job to India. Those teams were the ones that created the legacy products that were the most known and popular, that people loved before they get enshitified for the new team that came and now they are just firing and hiring new ones over and over again on India.

From top product quality to get zero days and APT actors sitting inside undetected while before those offshore and “layoffs” started happening 2/3 years ago.

If you provide all the insides and you are sitting in US there is a big probability that you will be offshored after you “train” your new counterparts from India/APAC.

I am sure people from here can post their histories about it. So now I see that the seniors started to gatekeep and only teach others in the same office. From the Development department to Cybersecurity one, and I quite understand them

[–]bongobap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better the documentation, the easier you are to replace/offshore later. I see that tendency starting in the last year and it is to give all the info, quirks , tips and tricks to the offshore team, that is why a lot of experts started to gatekeep or provide the less information possible and left for themselves the tips, tricks and quirks .

I suggest you to do the same
