Hey guys, this is Bruce, and welcome to combo courses, podcast. I'm doing an experiment where I'm doing daily is here. We'll see how this goes. I don't know if I'll keep this or maybe I'll do this twice a week or something like that because it hasn't been that bad. I got so many things. I can talk about so many questions to answer, but right now I wanted to focus my time on the categories of cybersecurity.

So a lot of times. Industry people think that cyber security is all about. And I think it's all about just hacking or something like that, something to that effect. And those are the things that are popular, just Hacking or pin testing or programming another one's for digital forensics.

People think that's all that there is, but in cyber security, not just I've been doing this for a very long time. I've done everything from the technical side where I'm actually configuring systems and installing systems and that kind of thing. But I've also done the, more of the management type side.

And I want to tell you that there's. So many different. Parts to cyber security. And when you see somebody talking about hacking or whatever it's very glamorous, but that's a tiny fraction of the whole spectrum of cyber security. It goes very deep. So if you're actually trying to get into this career path, cuz it pays very well and it does then I, what I wanna do is introduce you to some other categories of cyber security that you may.

Know about. And so one of there's an organization out there and it's from nonprofits and the government and a couple of private sector. They got together and they broke down the different categories of cyber security that need to be addressed. And it's not just. Cyber security by itself. Some of it is you can have a system administrator who does cyber security, that also accounts for this one.

And I'm gonna explain that in a second. If you stick with me, you'll understand this and you'll understand, especially if you, this is particularly for you. If you are trying to get into cyber security, if you're interested enough to want to be a part of cyber security in this field. And if you've been thinking about getting into it, I'm gonna show you the whole spectrum of cyber security.

Let me show you. A framework called it's called the workforce framework for cyber security. And if you didn't know about this is something the federal us federal government has been using for years now to figure out what categories to put people in and what kind of training that they need to do in order to be in these different categories.

And from a bird's eye view. Let me. Switch my screen over here on TikTok. Feel free to ask me any kind of questions. I'll be doing this for about 30 minutes if you're interested in this, but let me show you what I've got going on here. And I'm just so you know, I'm broadcasting on a podcast, but I'm also doing so I, I will explain what we're looking at here, but you can watch this on YouTube and Facebook eventually will put this on Facebook.

But here we have all the categories. Now there's seven different categories at the time of this recording. There's analyze. There's collect and operate. There's investigate. There is operate and maintain, overseeing, govern, protect, and defend and securely provision. And what I wanna do is give you an example of each one of these seven categories, cuz each one of these breaks out into specialty areas.

So for example, analyze breaks out into. What you call exploit analysis, language analysis, target analysis, and you'll see that some of these don't look like cyber security topics, but they, in fact they are now, if you happen to be dual bilingual, if you happen to know another language Very fluently.

You might actually be able to very quickly go into something called language analysis, which we'll briefly touch on in a second. But what I wanna keep this kind of high level right now, just to show you the different specialty areas. Now there's about, I do
