Therefore, this is a big gap, and if as a student you can bridge this, and show that understanding in an interview, I have no doubt you will have success!

In university I've noticed that the theory learnt is amazing, but there's little context of how these theories are applied in business. Depending on your role, the business doesn't care if you understand the theory. They understand if you can apply it to the business so they can make money!

This is a quote from the Infosec Surival Guide Volume 2 by Black Hills - I've been trying to explain this idea to college students when they ask me about the value of university for cyber. You need to take the skills you learn and understand how they apply in business. It's a huge differentiator.

Just by skimming through, I can tell this is going to be a good read. Will sit down and read tomorrow with my coffee in the morning. Too sleepy to digest it now lol. Phenomenal reporting Dell!

Remembrance 👀

This just unlocked memories I’d forgotten about playing Neopets! That damn giant omelette 🥲 my friends got into IT by purchasing domains and designing websites for Habo Hotel players back in the day and then selling to them. It was kind a lucrative business for kids lol

First Roger, now Nadal. My entire childhood is disappearing 😢 congratulations on an ombillibable career Rafa! It was an honor to watch you over the years. I always looked up to you as a player and your mental strength + determination is something that I try to implement daily, in giving life my all!

I recommend TryHackMe and HTB to all students who are interested in infosec. Such great resources which supplement the degrees people are taking which are quite frankly not equipping students for the workplace.

Can’t wait for infosec to continue to grow here 👏

Certs open doors, but practical skills keep them open. In #cybersecurity, hands-on experience—building labs, solving CTFs, or working on real-world issues—is what truly sets you apart. A cert may get you the interview, but your ability to demonstrate and apply knowledge will secure the role.

How many pages/ chapters do you give a book that you’re not feeling too good about before you ultimately decide to drop it?

My desk at work is good I guess I just feel uncomfortable standing and working. You’ve given me the motivation to try more to adjust!
