    Self hosting is the way to go. I’d suggest looking into open source projects for something you might be passionate about. Like, if you like gardening you could set up a time to turn gardening lights on, water systems, ect…those types of projects, when using open source apps, REALLY speed up you’re understanding of how systems communicate with each other.

    I work for a company that has offices in Spain (estoy aprendiendo español para mi trabajo) and Spain has a lot of jobs in tech, if you wanted to explore other areas.

    GRC tools, I’ve only used ZenGRC but that was for a short time and I don’t focus on that, so I’m not the best resource for that. I do work with Data Governance tools that will usually work closely with GRC type tools, if that’ll help.

    Certificates when you first start are good for getting your foot in the door but the best way to learn in a real world experience. To answer your question, 99.88% of people would said Security+, but that cert is nothing compared to actually dealing with actual real world BS. Certain types of attacks don’t follow a pattern and being able to adapt to that isn’t going to be taught in Security+

    Yea I’ve never understood the negative reaction to working with women in cyber security but those people are losers anyway.

    On another note, how are you liking cyber security? Any questions? Concerns? Areas you’re interested in?

    I work in cyber security and have gotten to work with some very talented female engineers. It’s always shocking to me the amount of disrespect some third party will display towards them. Like talking down or whatever.

    What’s also entertaining is watching my coworkers absolutely destroy these ass hats.






  • I get what you’re saying but yes, I think that’s what we want. When a company pays its employees a good salary the employee will stay for a couple of years. When a company pays its employees a great salary ($50-80k+ more than the avg in that area) it encourages employees to stay and work for that same company. You’re getting paid well, you have healthcare, if the company has good benefits(stock, pensions, long term investments), why leave?

    Employees will be happier, product quality will increase, and the company is supplying the community in that area with more money and local taxes. We saw that in the 40’s, 50’s and then yea kinda down hill from there.
