You MUST understand Cyber Threat Intelligence to Blue Team w/Samuel Kimmons

[@mvpbtc]

Just love you man ❤️ You are covering blue teaming too because here on youtube not many people talk about blue teams they just talk about bug bounties pentesting and all that red team stuff Thanks for the info

[@SimplyCyber]

Im an equal opportunity youtuber LOL. I love every part of cybersecurity. Happy to cover all aspects. I want SimplyCyber to be a resource that anybody wanting to do anything in cybersecurity can get something out of. Thanks for the kind words and being part of the community. Make sure get on the discord.

One of the best video on threat intel

[@SimplyCyber]

thanks so much. very kind of you.

[@Root-uno6nw]

Just a little side note for aspiring SOC analyst, focus on the basics and don’t stress yourself out learning all the advanced stuff like CTI, Scripting, Powershell, SIEM search operations. you’ll learn all of this on the job.

[@SimplyCyber]

Agreed. I was hoping this video would resonate or highlight threat intel as its own field. I've been in the game for a long time and I still suck at Powershell.

[@Root-uno6nw]

@@SimplyCyber I've never seen any infosec job as it's own especially a role like threat intellgience but I would never threat see intel as it's own field as SOC analysts and threat intel both work together. Still an interesting thought.

This is much appreciated advice!

I also have an interview in 2 days for a Cyber Intelligenge Analyst, I need to get it. Thanks for this.

[@erekthus]

How did you go?

[@seanfernandez197]

Thank you so much for this video! I have an interview for a threat research analyst coming up real soon and this is really helping me prep.

[@SimplyCyber]

Thanks for sharing your story. Best wishes of the interview. Come back and update, would love to know How it goes.

[@BobBob-qm2bm]

Thanks Gerry for consistently sharing the industry relevant content.

Hi Gerald, how to become a security architect, and how long is the path usually? 15 years or so? What is your advice for starters (1,5 years in IT) wishing to become a security architect in 20 years? Do you recommend a specific roadmap?

[@SimplyCyber]

Security architect is basically just a very senior, experienced, seasoned cybersecurity engineer. So it typically takes years of experience, although you can go much faster than 15 years. The term "architect" is getting thrown around quite a bit now as a title for various levels of consultants that may not be truly 'architects'. For a career path check out www.cyberseek.org/pathway.html. You can see at a high level what options may look like.

[@hasmituchil5214]

Loved this Gerald. Very helpful.

[@n_9565]

Love your vids! I was wondering if you could do one specifically for college students who are looking for cyber security internships, what to expect in the interview, and how to best prepare to apply ( tech skills u should already have or resume tips).

[@SimplyCyber]

Sure. Sounds like a great topic. Until I can get there, on 2/17 I'm doing a talk with NIST NICE with 2 other speakers on "Top Ten Ways to Discover a Cybersecurity Career That Is Right for You". One of them is a recent college graduate who is bringing their perspective. Could be worth your time. www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2021/02/nice-webinar-top-ten-ways-discover-cybersecurity-career-right-you

[@SimplyCyber]

Also, thanks for the kind words. "Love your vids" makes me feel great and wants me to make more. :)

Gerry, my man. Another great video. I've got a video request, which I believe is in your wheelhouse. I lead a security risk assessment team at my company and part of my duties this year will expand to include risk assessments to maintain HIPAA compliance. On a good day I am a HIPAA novice. Now, I don't want to request what amounts to free consulting work from you, but if you could possibly put out a video at some point covering HIPAA at a high level and what the implications are from a security perspective, that would be the bee's knees.

[@SimplyCyber]

Thanks for the continued support Jimmy. I could do a hipaa one. Maybe leave the last bit out as a teaser for hiring my company to help 😜. I can def do a hipaa video. What compliance is and what the realities are with trying to comply in a real hospital ( and how to control it to stay compliant)

[@nojabformeeducateyourself3393]

Great info!!!

[@nagarajgokarnkar6622]

Super bro Can u please explain difference bw threat Intel and threat hunter

[@SimplyCyber]

Great question and may be a good idea for an episode, thanks. To answer you question though, threat intel is human readable information and machine-ingestible information (for security tools) based on what the community is seeing (either from things like honeypots, or intel analysts collecting data on the dark web (for example)). Threat hunting is a pro-active technique blue team /soc analysts use to look for bad in their network instead of responding to an alert that fired on something bad. So think of threat hunting as trying to find things in an environment that is bad behavior that your tools are not detecting.
