Blue Teamers are the first (and sometimes last) line of defense in the ongoing cyber war. This place is to chat out detection strategies, complain about SIEMs, compare SOAR playbooks, or post mean memes about the Red Team.

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.

Fellow grey beard here 90's edition, made it up to CTO with CISO responsibilities added on a dotted line to finance and legal so I scurried back down to a comfy Blue Team / Threat Hunt / Investigative role after some years teaching, mentoring, and consulting. My hobbies include horticulture, Krav Maga, as well as network and systems engineering - constantly building something.

I recently took some time off from the world to rehabilitate post spinal surgery which is where Krav Maga came into my life. I needed a way to retrain my muscles and muscle memory. Now I'm a few stone lighter, row for around 15 min to start my day, and dance and practice Krav while jogging in the evening.
