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.
👋 infra sec blue team lead for a large tech company
DFIR Consultant. Been doing this for a number of years now. Background in all aspects of IT starting from Help Desk to SysAdmin, Infra, and then as cybersecurity. Now trying to help anyone who needs it either on the DFIR side or mentoring anyone with an interest in cybersecurity.

Computers since 1980, programming, games, and now for almost 18 years incident response/investigation of computer crimes.
I am retired LEO, that now works for a security company (easy to figure out, not many folks named Vern) doing DFIR work in the OT space, including Incident Response Plan development and Tabletop Exercise design and execution. I taught DFIR at the college level for over a decade, but am on a break from that.
I went into management/leadership, but I stepped back to individual contributor about 15 years ago and it was the right choice for me. I love the zeros and ones, solving puzzles, and helping folks that are in a crisis.
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.
Jack of all for a small multinational, infra, chasing alerts, compliance and other this and thats as well as providing all things IT for a couple of small, actual, non-profits, also like to drive fast with #'s on and disappear into the bush with the kids as often as possible.
In professional IT since '06, but I’ve been playing with (and fixing) computers since playing with my dad’s Timex Sinclair at the age of two. I’m a generalist who focuses mainly in OSes and automation, but I’ve had experience working in databases, mainframe performance tuning, security, cloud infrastructure, pretty much anything but web front-ends outside of tweaking a really basic Livejournal page’s HTML. 😂
I’ve gotten as high as a domain and solutions architect; my three domains were Servers (Linux), Security, and Automation/SOA/DevOps (yes, I was a DevOps Architect, as much of an antipattern as that is… I didn’t make the titles! 😅). Currently looking for a new SRE/DevOps/DevSecOps gig after getting let go during some layoffs recently.
As far as InfoSec is concerned, I take a very strong “Security is everyone’s responsibility” approach, since it’s us humans against the machines and “bad guys.” Even a newbie can pull a Cliff Stoll and say, “Huh, that’s funny.” We need to band together in community, so I’m hopeful this will be a net-positive.
Open source developer, white middle-aged dude. I have too many hobbies. I’m trying to see if Lemmy makes sense for me and wasn’t sure which server to choose (I know, completely unusual story), so I picked this one as I hang out with InfoSec people a lot :)
IR dude with ~10 years experience across different infosec disciplines. Currently working toward making the jump to offsec/pen testing. Privacy advocate. Trying out Lemmy because of Reddit’s 3rd party API shenanigans.
Hey all! I’ve been in infosec for about 20 years, did some red teaming but have really found the fight in defense. I currently work in the public sector, did some threat hunting and am now specializing in post-compromise remediation and countermeasures.
Hey everyone. Jason here. Full-time developer over at the Suricata IDS project.
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!
I just wanted to try Lemmy and this instance was recommended to my by my tech friends. I haven’t coded since high school (the closest I get is a couple of hours of trying SQL). I work in accounting, live in southern Stockholm, Sweden, union activist in my local syndicalist union, member of my local masorti synagogue. I’m in charge of internet security and other IT related issues on my firm, but that’s because we’re small and I’m the least bad on the position. I’m still struggling to get people to move over to password managers (yeah some co-workers still reuse passwords). After that, my plan is to push for 2FA where it’s possible (though we already have it on our most crucial system).
Salutations! I work in DFIR, have for the past couple of years. Before that I worked in IT - Systems Administration for a long time.
