🗓️ Half of 2025 is behind us — but there’s still time to hit your career goals. In cybersecurity, your 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 is your first impression. ✅ Make it clear. ✅ Make it focused. ✅ Make it count. 🎥👇 Watch the video and take that next step.

What does a Cyber Incident Response Engineer 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 do?. They’re the calm in the cyberstorm:.🧠 Analyze & contain threats.💣 Find root causes.📜 Build response playbooks.🔁 Coordinate under pressure.🛡️ Turn chaos into resilience. Part firefighter, part forensic expert🔥

What does a SIEM Engineer 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 do?. They’re the brains behind the SOC:. 🔍 Find real threats in tons of logs.🛡️ Fine-tune detections.🚨 Reduce alert noise.🤖 Automate responses. Part analyst, part builder, part digital detective & watchdog 🧠. Watch the clip below ⬇️

What does an Endpoint Security Engineer really do?. They’re frontline device defenders that:. 🔍 Hunt hidden threats.🛡️ Lock down & patch systems.🚨 Stop breaches in progress.🤖 Automate protections. Equal parts detective, engineer and 1st responder. Here’s a quick breakdown ⬇️

What’s Next?. CISA ensures short-term continuity, but long-term effects are unclear. The community must adapt either via new funding, decentralized options, or industry solutions. Temporary hiccup or vulnerability management turning point? Discuss below. ⬇️.

Why This Matters?. Standardization Risk – CVE's unified catalog may collapse without funding. Slower Disclosures – MITRE's delays might leave flaws unregistered longer. Who Takes Over? – Another entity or competing standards?.

Recently, the cybersecurity world was stunned: U.S. govt. funding for MITRE’s CVE program ended. (link below) For decades, the program's been the backbone of vulnerability tracking, helping organizations worldwide identify and mitigate security flaws.

But here’s the truth: cybersecurity's a field built on hard work, not magic. There’s no single “right” path - uncertainty is normal. Whether you’re coming from IT, tech, or even a non-tech background, what matters is persistence, hands-on practice, and a willingness to learn.

Considering Cybersecurity as a Career?🔒. The world of cyber can seem overwhelming and confusing. With endless advice, rapidly changing threats, and a sea of certifications, it’s easy to feel lost in the noise, especially when everyone has a different opinion on where to start.

Answer: Brand fraud + phishing. Attackers impersonated legitimate brands (e.g., candy companies) to trick users into entering passwords on fake login pages.

🐰 Easter Cyber Quiz. During Easter 2021, hackers exploited a vulnerability in email marketing platforms to send phishing emails disguised as:. "Claim Your Free Easter Basket! 🎁 Click Here!". Which two attack techniques were most likely combined here?.

Answer: Plaintext in logs. RSA-3072 is PCI DSS compliant but irrelevant if logs store plaintext.

🚨Another Friday, Another Cyber Quiz 🚨. Let's see if you can crack this one!. A company encrypts all data with RSA-3072, yet hackers steal credit cards. How?.

Answer: LOTL. Attackers are abusing trusted system tools to blend in. The timing matches backup windows to avoid alerts. Encrypted traffic suggests use of legitimate protocols for cover. (LOTL attacks bypass traditional AV by not dropping malware—making them harder to detect).

🧠Weekly quiz . During a night audit, your SIEM alerts on encrypted traffic from a critical server to an external IP. Packet captures show data exfiltrating in 23 min bursts—exactly during scheduled backup windows. No malware detected. Which technique is most likely being used?.

Answer: B) SQL brute-force. Port 1433 is open, but 1434 (UDP) is filtered, blocking instance enumeration. Attackers may brute-force weak credentials (B). UDP scanning (C) is unlikely. T-SQL (A) needs an app flaw; CLR (D) is too rare.

🚨 Quiz time 🚨. We're raising the bar to level up your cyber skills! Let's see if you can solve this 👇. An attacker finds port 1433 open on a server. The service responds with SQL Server, but port 1434 is filtered. What’s the most likely attack path?.
