So it finally begins - after a number of false starts, senses of apprehension, and endless persistence from my wife, I decided embark upon this new journey - a journey which I hope will help to educate, sometimes entertain, and maybe provide you with insights to a better job, or being more successful in your current one.
So why am I doing this? It’s actually quite simple - those of us that work in the industry want to retire at some point and go fishing. In order to do that, there has to be a fresh supply of victims - er, candidates to take our places in the ICS cyber trenches. While traditional cyber security is largely commodity, ICS cyber certainly is not, and have a long runway ahead of it. That being said, there is plenty of room for those brave enough to make the jump. I would like to do my part to convince (manipulate, beg, plead, etc.) into joining the ranks…and maybe learning some really cool stuff.
So to set the stage - I will generally cover items in four general topic areas along our journey together:
a) Career Advice,
b) News,
c) Industry, and
d) Tips from the Trenches
I hope to cover one or more of these weekly - but I do have a day job (and I’m sure you do too), so if I miss a day or so, I will catch up in the ensuring next days. My mission is to help those who wish to thrive within ICS Cyber, or are looking for the next great landing spot, and share insights/collaborate to solve some of the industry’s toughest ICS and IIoT cyber challenges. So without further adieu, let’s begin!
