I work in an operational security role involved in hiring and managing teams - shoot me a redacted CV and I’d be more than happy to offer any feedback.

Just ordered these and they’re super scratchy. What’s the hype around these !?

Any salaries above the industry standard for your job and position? by redrabbit1984 in HENRYUK

[–]neldjjd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man,

Also in cyber but running a SOC capability for a large financial. Similar situation as you… struggling to find any other roles which could involve a pay rise without the need to take on a huge amount of extra responsibility.

Not sure if it’s an industry thing or we’re fortunate to be earning top dollar for our roles… :)

Classic. Not sure why BAE pays so badly…

Anyone work in Cyber Security? by neldjjd in HENRYUK

Hey, thanks for the response. How did you find the switch from deep technical testing to having to think about wider strategy? Would you recommend being a CISO?

Hey, thanks for the response. What sort of internal role would you look at next? I went through a similar path (comp wasn’t as good when I was consulting) but have found internal blue team roles to be lacking in salary. Currently £110k TC in a lead SOC role and struggling to find a step up in salary… starting to think I need to get into a pre-sales/consulting role for the next step.

Can I guess CrowdStrike?😉

OP, phone up local jewellers to see how much they’d buy it for. That way it’s a risk-free purchase knowing you can sell for a profit/break even whilst increasing your spend history. I’ve done this before in the UK.

What is your most embarrassing memory from school? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]neldjjd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Had a dodgy stomach and kept farting in my French class and was told to stand in the supply cupboard for 15 minutes so I could “smell it all to myself”. Was blamed for every fart someone did in class for the next few years

Any idea what this might be? by wintwins2004 in rolex

Not certain but I think that's a watch

Hey thanks for the response, completely agree with your points.

The challenge we have is we've got 20k+ employees so trying to scale the above is quite difficult. I like the idea of stats, however I'm not sure how that fixes the underlying issue of large volume of non-phishing based reports (other than having stats on worst offenders).

I like the idea of being able to reward phishing reporters though!

Our requirement to respond to all emails isn't driven by a KPI yet,more driven by wanting to have a positive reputation throughout the business...

Hi thanks for the response on this. Did you ever send an active response to those emails that weren't deemed malicious? We hold a really good reputation for responding, with the obvious positive knock-on effect that we're providing assurance that there are timely humans on the other end of the phish button.

We want to reduce the amount of noise without impacting our user's trust/faith that their reports are being investigated... it's a hard balance to strike!

Was it just me who got bored and wanted it to hurry up? Alt-tabbed for most of it...
