All I can hear is the voice of Edward R. Rooney saying "Nine Times"... well, that and the 49th parallel (which is 6 parallels north of where 3/5ths of the gang is hanging out). No one reads the notes so I know that I'm just talking to myself here. It's probably bad when you start talking to yourself. Perhaps.

  3. Breaches
  4. SCADA / Cyber, cyber... etc.
  5. finishing it off with DERPs/Mailbag and
  6. There will be a DEEP DIVE
  7. And there are weekly Briefs - no arguing or discussion allowed

    DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

    ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.

              1. I'd like to start by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. It's a great combination of security news, comedy, and tragedy. It's great, keep it up. I'm emailing about your podcast to you rather than posting on the appropriate Facebook page, as I find email to be a preferred method of communication. I hope that's okay.

                Now, my question. I'm a young, ambitious Engineer who finds the topic of Network Security to be exciting and interesting. I work in a network security team in a large company and I am always trying to expand my skills and abilities. Simply put, I'm wondering what advice you have for an inspiring individual in this industry. Also, what resources did you rely on when you were starting out. What resources do you find to be the most valuable now?

                Specifically I struggle with finding friends, co-workers, or online buddies that share the same career interests and passion. After I spend a day troubleshooting a particular security issue I want to have a group of individuals I can spit ball ideas with. I find myself feeling like I am in a silo. This is particularly odd because I know for a fact that the world is full of brilliant network security minds. I'm thinking of attending one of the upcoming security conferences this year just to make some like minded friends. It's just annoying/expensive because I'd likely have to fly to the US. Any guidance that you could provide would be helpful.
