    So, any #infosec folk here have experience with the new OSAI course? I&#39;m looking for thoughts and opinions before I spend some time and money upgrading my skills.

    What exactly am I missing? I remember OpenVAS/Greenbone being this clunky, entry-level vulnerability scanner that took forever to setup. Nessus was the gold standard, and the masochists went with Qualys or Rapid7 for different reasons. I&#39;ve used Nessus, Qualys, and Greenbone for the past few years, and now I have opinions. I actually moved to Kaseya&#39;s VulScanner last year, and I loved it for all the wrong reasons. It was easy to setup as a Docker image, meaning I could install it in...

    Man there are gatekeepers everywhere. I&#39;m part of a few vCISO groups, joined back when I offered vCISO services (it didn&#39;t work out, but that&#39;s a longer story). One of these groups had a meetup in a nearby city, so I decided to go. This was last year, but it still bothers me. I knew only a few folks, but it was essentially a giant group of strangers for me. I did meet some folks, but the one big thing I noticed was the cliques and established barriers to conversations with othe...

    My AC and furnace apparently decided to conk out at me at the same time. Long story, but suffice it to say that I needed to replace both. I used to rent them, but found out my agreement expired a year ago and they never told me - basically no warranty work, only a new 7 year contract. No thanks. I&#39;ve moved to a heat pump with a furnace as a backup heating unit for cold Canadian winters, and I must say that I&#39;m impressed. I splurged on the system, but I regret nothing. This is my 3r...

    I&#39;m not going to lie, there are days I miss working with coworkers or just having close friends I can talk to about work stuff. I do have my wife, but she&#39;s off visiting family, and I&#39;m not going to bug her. Ah well, I&#39;m old enough to know I can wait a few days, but reality is a bitch sometimes and some things can&#39;t be shared on the wider Internet.

    I had a general contractor admit to me that he completely forgot about my request because he had other jobs on the go. Nothing major, just some roof flashing that needed to be repaired and some drywall on my garage ceiling that had some water damage from the rain due to the flashing. He couldn&#39;t find a roofing contractor willing to quote the job because it was too small. So I found my own roofer to fix it, and now he wants to do the drywall, but can&#39;t get to me until August because he...

    Don&#39;t blink first. That&#39;s the rule. Wait it out and trust your instincts.

    Never doubt your worth, and don&#39;t let anyone else dictate what it is or diminish your value in yourself. Find allies to validate your thoughts, but first and foremost stay true to yourself.
