A REAL Day in the life in Cybersecurity in Under 10 Minutes!

"We are not getting hacked, why do we need you?" yes, exactly. We as IT professionals are at our highest value when we are doing nothing. If we are doing nothing, then everything is working as intended. You are paying me for that luxury.

[@temtongu9481]

"we are not getting hacked and there are no threats, why are we paying you?" doesn't that mean that the job is being done well?

[@Viikingsz]

Even if there are no threats and risks, it doesn't mean our job is useless. A company is never never at risk. Even if there's no risk & threat, the company must keep its good practice by doing things ahead.

[@abeliever1843]

Thanks for sharing this. Real good. Just be interested to know where did you train SOC and how long did it take to be employed

[@DennisOcana]

Yes. And if bad actors find out that you have no people acting as first line of defense, then you're more vulnerable to getting hacked and threats.

How do you know there are no threats to get hack and what do you mean why are we paying you, your not paying him

The inconsistency of the job is what I find the most exciting. Every day I see what looks malicious ending up being regular activity, and what looks like regular activity ending up being malicious. It's a lot of adware and potentially unwanted programs, along with creating exclusions and automating things, however in between there's that 1% of the time adrenalin of stopping a threat actor. To do this you really have to have a problem solving passion and really enjoy diving into understanding anything you investigate. It's really important to be a team player and be comfortable asking questions often when not sure about something.

[@dougchampion8084]

Friendly reminder that creating exclusions == creating holes.

If you want to get into cyber security. Don't be fooled like i was. First start learning the basics of IT. Professor messer has full course for free. Start with comptia A+ then comptia Networking + then you can go for the comptia Security +. I started a cyber security bootcamp as they advertised "0 IT skill needed" but i quickly found out i need to learn this stuff to understand what i am doing and securing. Good luck

@@mrCan026 you don't need to get the certs, just study and know the basics of IT and Networking. I did my duties and I'm learning Security now, that's my end goal. Did I get the other certs? No, do I understand Security? Some of it, I'm still learning.

[@orcanerdc6204]

Thanks so much!! Too many people do the morning routine BS or explain their day like they would in an interview. Idea for video....The IT department at one company I worked for would do company wide presentations on how to best use them. They would even tell us the type of internal requests they would get through help tickets. One was a series of tickets involving a request on how to get rid of a spider with progress updates. IT responses were hilarious! Another was a list of complaints from and about a certain individual who he named because there was no point in pretending the entire company of 3k employees didn't know who it was. The complaints were things like being unable to send emails and other basic things. He kept asking help for basic stuff and others kept asking help teaching it to him so he would stop bothering them!!
