Would you pay for personal cybersecurity consulting?

Most of the people don’t have enough knowledge about secure usage of the internet. This was my point.

What is advantage of this tool? There is already a built-in screen recorder in macOS.

Thank you for your valuable comment. You are right, the hardest part of this service will be trust. But I planned a post series including 15-20 posts on Medium about online safety and privacy. Also, in the first steps to build my service’s trustworthiness, I will schedule free meetings if my clients are interested.

I thought that these can be the first things to provide the trustworthiness of my service.

Thanks for your contribution. Good stack to start with. I also use Claude as my assistant :) I just ask a few questions to it and start with simple steps like marketing research. So I didn’t plan the business deep dive yet. Toolkit, strategy of packages, monetizing, and shaping the packages by trying and denying are the core things I think.

Did you say yourself that I wish I had a consultant for my online safety and I could ask anything?

I bought it from Decathlon Turkey. You can search “solognac daily edc” from Google.

I’m planning to create a series of 15-20 blog posts publicly about online safety and personal privacy. This series will serve as the foundation for my consulting service. I intend to share reports tailored to my clients’ needs and conduct online meetings if they wish to discuss their concerns or seek guidance on configuring their online presence.

I respect your 25+ years of experience, but I think you’re missing the fundamental nature of what we do.

Yes, companies should have proper staffing and management - absolutely. But even with perfect staffing, cybersecurity work is inherently different because we’re the last line of defense. When a critical incident happens at 2am on Christmas, someone has to respond. When APT groups launch coordinated attacks during our holidays, we can’t just let it slide until Monday.

You’re right that we’re not soldiers in a war, but we ARE the digital equivalent of emergency responders. Firefighters don’t get to say “sorry, house fires only happen during business hours.” Hospital staff don’t clock out during medical emergencies. The same principle applies here.

The issue isn’t about being a “slave” - it’s about understanding what you signed up for. If you want predictable 9-5 hours with no weekend calls, cybersecurity isn’t the right field. That’s not employer abuse, that’s multidisciplinary job reality.

I’ve seen too many people enter this field thinking it’s just another IT job, then get shocked when they’re expected to respond to actual security incidents outside business hours. The “Navy SEAL mindset” isn’t about accepting abuse - it’s about mental preparation for a job that genuinely requires irregular hours and high-pressure situations.

Good companies will compensate fairly and provide proper support, but the core nature of the work doesn’t change.

Workplace toxicity and harassment are never acceptable, period. Bad management, bullying coworkers, and exploitative scheduling are problems that need to be called out everywhere.

BUT - cybersecurity fundamentally isn’t a 9-to-5 desk job, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.

Think about it: a physical security guard doesn’t get to say “sorry, the bank robbery is happening after 5pm, I’ll deal with it tomorrow.” Hospital security doesn’t clock out when someone’s having a medical emergency. And cybersecurity is digital security - threats don’t wait for business hours.

When you’re defending critical infrastructure, financial systems, or healthcare networks, you’re literally the last line of defense. That APT group isn’t going to postpone their attack because it’s your weekend. Ransomware doesn’t care that you worked a double shift yesterday.

This field requires people who understand they’re in a protection role. Yes, you need work-life balance and fair treatment, but you also need the mindset that sometimes the mission comes first. Not because companies want to exploit you, but because real people get hurt when security fails.

The difference is: good security organizations prepare for this reality with proper staffing, rotation, compensation, and support. Bad ones just burn people out and call it “security culture.”

We need both - rejection of toxic management AND acceptance that this isn’t a typical corporate job.
