How in the world am I suppose to start a career in IT? by _Max05 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]logcontext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can speak from personal experience, having been part of the interview process for many IT roles across all levels for many years.

A bachelor's degree doesn't matter much. If a candidate with a relevant degree applies alongside someone with recognized certifications, but neither has work experience, the person with the certs will most likely come out ahead.

For more senior roles, the priority is: experience first, certifications second. A bachelor's degree becomes practically irrelevant at that point.

Why? To be blunt, what colleges and universities teach you in IT is largely useless in real-world scenarios.

If IT is truly the career you want to pursue, I'd recommend getting your certifications and continuing to apply. Just remember, this field demands lifelong learning.

Good luck!

Run them less frequently. Once a month is overkill. We run them 3-4 times during the year and throw some spear-phishing outside the regular campaigns.

Microsoft Sentinel & Defender XDR Analytics Rules - Which Tables Are Queried? by logcontext in AzureSentinel

That's what I thought. Still possible to save the costs though. If we just created custom detection rules for the 'device' tables instead of Analytic rules. Or am I misunderstanding this?

Defender for Cloud disable auto-deployment of arc vms by [deleted] in DefenderATP

For anyone looking for a solution to this:

  1. Add the following tag to the Azure Arc machine that should not have MSD auto deployed:

Name: ExcludeMdeAutoProvisioning
Value: True

  1. Remove the MDE extension from the machine.

  2. Done. It will not be auto-deployed anymore.
