  • It may be a little late, but do you enjoy cybersecurity? - Chasing ghosts, scrolling through endless lines of logs, fending off threats, responding to incidents in high-stress situations, fighting for budgets, clients and colleagues who just don’t care, being the “bad guy” in meetings, and so on.

    I’ve only been there a few months, but there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with my environment, but I can’t see myself doing this for a long time.







  • So, let’s assume that you are in an international company and the first and only security person. What are your first steps and projects? It is like really vague, but I’d assume like a SIEM, inventory of the network and all devices, backup situation, maybe even honeypots?

    What are your high-prio things that every company should have? Is there even a framework for it?

    Feeling kinda lost and I hope you get some guidance in the right direction.




  • I want to get into Ansible and I am building a testing env for it - home lab with various switches and routers, Fortinet, Palo, and a proxmox host server and some remote VPS. One of my goals for Q1 '24. Today I am going to prep the switches.

    Besides that, I want to host my own NFTY server and I hope that I can get it online within this week.
