Hey everyone! Since we’re creating a new community here, I’d love to hear who’s here.
I’ve been doing security for a bit over 30 years now. Made it up to a divisional CISO, then climbed back down the ladder to find a good work/life balance. Currently part of the security leadership team at a large US bank. I run a couple of teams right now, including a firewall policy engineering team and a production support center of excellence. I’m looking forward to seeing what type of community we can build here.
Heya!
I am currently in a consultancy role, mostly doing penetration tests, but as everyone knows, “A pentest report without a way to fix findings is just a show-off document.” Been doing this for close to 3 years. Before that, I spent a year as a SOC analyst for a global corporation, and before that I was a teacher. My hobbies include lockpicking, all ways to get where I’m not supposed to, and privacy.
Hope to learn a lot of valuable stuff here, and if I know an answer, I’ll happily share!
Hey everyone! I’m a new kid on the block in terms of professional blue teaming. Landed a role in a large firm as a SOC analyst and really enjoying my job. Looking to move up quickly and very motivated to do so (I’m almost in my 30’s and have mouths to feed 😂)
Previously, I’ve been bouncing through roles from IT service desk to various admin (non-IT) roles. I also enjoy a bit of web design and running my own SIEM on Raspberry Pi’s.
👋 infosec newb here, 8 years in HVAC/R > 6 months in HD at MSP > ~8 months as SOC Analyst at MSSP.

Fellow grey beard here 90’s edition, made it up to CTO with CISO responsibilities added on a dotted line to finance and legal so I scurried back down to a comfy Blue Team / Threat Hunt / Investigative role after some years teaching, mentoring, and consulting. My hobbies include horticulture, Krav Maga, as well as network and systems engineering - constantly building something.
I recently took some time off from the world to rehabilitate post spinal surgery which is where Krav Maga came into my life. I needed a way to retrain my muscles and muscle memory. Now I’m a few stone lighter, row for around 15 min to start my day, and dance and practice Krav while jogging in the evening.
