Small follow up - asked about bag recommendations like a month ago and went with the recommendation from Nasan@sopuli.xyz - Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26l - been really happy so far.

 

For real-time collab - been in use daily ever since

Big or small, we make decisions every day. Rules, policies, processes, templates, etc.

How do you document the process and results of your decision making and track changes?

To give you some background, a lot of departments discuss certain topics every two weeks, but nothing is written down - it takes a lot of time and worse, some decisions change every two weeks.

I've been trying to fight this battle with OneNote atm and was inspired by some software change management frameworks (wild mix of things):

Each decision/problem gets a new page.

  • What is the question/problem?
  • Why is this decision necessary?
  • What are the pros and cons?
  • Which departments need to be involved? What is the scope? (department, site, country, continent, international, etc.)
  • What are the alternatives and consequences of not implementing?
  • plus changelog
  • plus metadata, such as parties involved, who proposed it, dates, etc.

Still a work in progress, but it is a mix of RFC, ADR, and some other frameworks.

How do you handle that?

 

Titles are getting longer and longer.

We do. Security/Network > dummy data / files, brainstorming, drafts. Not part of a department-wide process, but rather part of an individual's workflow.

It may be a little late, but do you enjoy cybersecurity? - Chasing ghosts, scrolling through endless lines of logs, fending off threats, responding to incidents in high-stress situations, fighting for budgets, clients and colleagues who just don't care, being the "bad guy" in meetings, and so on.

I've only been there a few months, but there's no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my environment, but I can't see myself doing this for a long time.

 

Feedback is welcome - as always

I am pretty sure one of our consultants has this Osprey Comet. Looks decent! Wow, the Technonaut looks more like a travel bag than an everyday carry, and man, 400 bucks? And I thought my Veto Pro Pac was expensive.

Just ordered the Catalyst 26. Thanks again

[–] wop@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

Those bags are looking great! Having enough space for tools and a big water bottle. Cheers

[–] wop@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

And fairly inexpensive - thanks!

It seems that I have to drive more often to the office again. Any bag recommendations? What is your favorite brand/ model?

 

I've been a little bit inactive. Trying to change it again. Most recent article.

So, let's assume that you are in an international company and the first and only security person. What are your first steps and projects? It is like really vague, but I'd assume like a SIEM, inventory of the network and all devices, backup situation, maybe even honeypots?

What are your high-prio things that every company should have? Is there even a framework for it?

Feeling kinda lost and I hope you get some guidance in the right direction.

 

Set up new #FreshRSS instance for now. I want to read more and stay up to date on certain topics and I figured I could give RSS another chance. Stays invite-only for now, but feel free to hit me up if you want to have an account.

Testing a few CTF platforms to learn more about pentesting. It is interesting, but the learning curve is quite steep.
