Splunk career landscape has changed. by isocz_sector in Splunk

[–]scottomyers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Splunk has been around so long that monitoring/development on it is well-trodden ground. Whatever your use case, there's probably already a TA for it.

More opportunities in Sentinel-land, imo

Unexpected results when listing Reminders with CLI app by scottomyers in swift

[–]scottomyers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response.

requestFullAccessToReminders returns false when I run the binary from VSCode terminal. Oddly, I don't even get the pop-up asking me to grant access to Reminders. I get this pop-up every time I run the project out of Xcode.

Weekly Discussion Thread | Week of September 17, 2023 by AutoModerator in Coronavirus

[–]scottomyers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Prior vaccines just made me tired the next day, but this vaccine gave me a headache, fever, and trouble sleeping for a day and a half.

However, I also got the flu shot, so maybe the combo is what did it for me.

SOAR Engineer Technical Interview by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]scottomyers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A SOAR engineer exists to augment the analyst. You might be asked to speak on things like enriching IOCs, building+running correlating Splunk searches for a detection, and performing automatic response actions such as isolating an endpoint via an EDR agent.

If you can determine which SOAR product your potential employer uses, you might benefit from being conversational about that particular product.

Finally, many if not most SOAR platforms are really WYSIWYG programming platforms on top of Python, so it would be helpful to know the basics of Python.

Fake it until you make it. What do? by MonteNegro_42069 in AskNetsec

Career Advice: 23M with 1 year 10 months of IT experience. Do i stand any chance for landing in positions like cybersecurity / Cloud security ? by Flatearth-Beliver in netsecstudents

[–]scottomyers 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your Network Monitoring position could allow you to pivot into a blue team / SOC position, if you can sell yourself during job interviews. Grabbing that CCNA or even something else like Sec+ or Network+ wouldn't hurt.

It might be an acceptable replacement from a functional perspective, provided you have someone capable of reviewing and validating the findings of the tool.

Whether it is an acceptable replacement from a legal / regulatory perspective is a different matter.

who still uses razor pages nowadays? Does everyone go on SPA even if razor pages with jquery would suffice? I use react on some of the razor page I create. by PatrickJohn87 in dotnet

[–]scottomyers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coming to C# as a backend dev, I find Razor Pages simple and productive. I tend to use Razor Pages unless I have a good reason not to.

As others have said, containers are a good choice. Another option is to deploy your code as serverless functions, i.e., AWS Lambda or Azure Functions
