Cybersecurity jobs aren't usually landed by applying online or having a good resume. Connections matter the most. Networking is king, so here are some dos and don'ts to help you get started. #cybersecurity #networking
Resume reviews aren't about shame, but about learning! Real examples show what NOT to do. Awareness is key to making sure job-seekers get it right. #ResumeTips #CareerAdvice
When new developers get network access, it can open your system up to serious risk. Malware, ransomware, data theft... the list goes on. Is your team prepared? #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #InfoSec
The capabilities of standard AI are further along than many realize. What happens when social engineering meets AI? A conversation with ChatGPT. #AI #SocialEngineering #AI #SocialEngineering
Want to break into cybersecurity? Don't wait for the title! Sharing your learning journey *now* can help others and build your own skills. The best time to start is always today. #Cybersecurity #CareerAdvice
Feeling the pressure? Before a big meeting or presentation, try a "power pose" like Wonder Woman. It might sound strange, but some find it helps them reconnect with their inner strength. Ever tried this? #productivity #bodylanguage
Discovering a critical vulnerability led one professional to build a comprehensive software bill of materials database. A reactive necessity, turned proactive insight. #Cybersecurity #SBOM #VulnerabilityManagement
Ransomware isn't just a threat; it's a career for some. Huge groups operate like businesses, with service desks and salaried employees. Others find exploits and sell access, making it lucrative for individuals, too. #cybersecurity #ransomware #cybercrime
Alert fatigue got your team numb? Automation offers SOC teams a powerful edge: spotting critical anomalies (like Jerry in Russia!) that human eyes miss. "That's different!" #Cybersecurity #BlueTeam
Fun reminder! Find me at DefCon or Simply Cyber meetup and I’ll give you one of these HOT 🥵 stickers! Let’s go!
AI is set to transform cybercrime. What used to take hours now takes seconds, and even the smartest researchers can't imagine some of the attacks AI can invent. Defenders need to automate or be too late. #CyberSecurity #AI
Security awareness training needs a revamp. It's not about more, but relevance. How does it affect *me*, in *my* job? Tailored training is the key to genuine engagement. #SecurityAwareness #SecurityAwareness
Many in net admin only do the basics to "keep a system safe," but offensive security pros see systems differently. A conference opened his eyes to another half of security. #CyberSecurity #OffensiveSecurity

GRC stuck in checklists? Sometimes all it takes is a "hacker mindset" and fresh perspective to align business needs and spark new ideas. What about *this*? #GRC #Cybersecurity
Pen testers often ask to turn off security measures to see anything on the network. "Assume breach" – if they're already in, what can they do? A sobering question. #cybersecurity #zerotrust
Tech skills get you in the door, but soft skills make you thrive. Communication, empathy, adaptability—they're "at least as important" for career growth and leadership. Seen this play out? #CareerDevelopment #SoftSkills
Networking isn't just a trope; it's reality. Getting referred can cut the job hunt time dramatically. Build connections *before* applying to boost your chances. #CareerTip Ever tried this? #Networking #JobSearch
The second episode of Simply Offensive has dropped, featuring @webjedi! @Gerald_Auger youtube.com/watch?v=mc8Fbe…
I’m excited to be podcasting for Simply Cyber Media! It’s an honor to be working with @Gerald_Auger and being part of his amazing community. My first episode drops next Tuesday.
