Hello /m/cybersecurity folks! Wanted to get a pulse check on those who use this particular community. I mod both here at Fedia as well as at infosec.pub for /cybersecurity. I run a few weekly threads (e.g. Mentorship Monday) at infosec.pub and have tried to run those same weekly threads here but they get barely any traction, whether that be because they are redundant with infosec.pub or because people here are just not that active yet. For those who main Kbin/Fedia, is there anything you’d like to see that I can help with (weekly threads, community engagement style posts, etc…)? For those who sub here and at infosec.pub, is there anything Kbin adds that you feel is worth pointing out?

Unless some folks come out in favor of keeping the weekly threads here at Fedia, I will stop them and focus on having those threads over at infosec.pub.

Cheers and happy threadiversing!

Hey everyone! My name is Mike and I write about #infosec, #tech and other things at https://shellsharks.com. I'm currently running an event this week I refer to as >Shark Week (https://shellsharks.com/sharkweek), which is essentially just me posting some sort of "content" each day for the entire week, coinciding with actual shark week (https://www.discovery.com/shark-week) on Discovery.

Appreciate a follow, boost and/or feedback on the site/posts. Thanks so much! 🦈🦈🦈

Kicking off >Shark Week, I wanted to share everywhere I am these days. I'll admit I am most active on Mastodon but like to maintain some form of presence other places. So connect with me wherever or everywhere!

Hey Kbin-folk, I’ve recently published my take on the “threadiverse” in the form of a quasi-guide but with some other commentary. Appreciate any feedback, good or bad!

Couldn't find a poll option so I guess people can just weigh in on their thoughts here. I've been a "CISSP-holder" since 2015/2016-ish and have always had the renewal fees paid for by my employer. My renewal date has come and unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting any employer assistance paying the fee this time around. Is it worth keeping? Some important things to know...

• I'm not in government work right now but it's not impossible that I would be sometime in the future.
• I have TONs of other certs so maybe CISSP is redundant?
• CISSP is lame right? =P
• Costs about $125/yr so a 4 year renewal is like $500
