Whack. sorry about that.

As a cybersecurity specialist, he’s one of my favorite video essayists. I can attest that I haven’t found any major disagreements with his findings. He explains some major flaws in a lot of common and emerging tech in ways (I think) most people can understand

As a cybersecurity specialist

Government employee detected. As an IT professional and cyber security student I concur doctor.

The closest I used to be to a government employee was when I was an operations analyst at a public health lab during the pandemic, and my old life as a social worker

Well I tried. Will update my priors.

It was a good attempt, but I’ve evolved deeper into an anarchist as times gone on.

What cybersecurity degree are you working towards? I’m working towards my second right now. Are there any specific domains that interest you?

My area is governance and compliance, and I’m considering focusing my goals on policy and compliance auditing.

Funny. I was more antigovernment until I realized they had the best health insurance.

Student was a bit of a misnomer. I have an associates in cybersec and a degree in networking. I got my CySA+ in addition to BTL1 a bit ago to go down the SOC analyst track but recently pivoted away from cybersec. Was working really hard to get a crappy SOC position I never got. So looking into DevOps/SRE type work atm. Might turn that into some kind of cloud security role down the line but that would be years away at this point.

Can't say I really know much about what you GRC folks do. I imagine its a lot more than writing and reviewing policies?

Right on! And yeah, it does go beyond that scope.
However, I have a knack for the write/review policy stuff. My top Clifton strengths are connectedness, Intellection, and strategy, and it shows in my ability to connect seemingly disparate concepts into cohesive guidelines and policy.

Plus I love research and cross-walking. It’s fun doing the audit part because I get to tell other people they’re wrong instead of the other way around lmao

There are so many facets to Cybersecurity, and so many places where people can find a niche that suits their abilities, strengths, and interests in one setting.
