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.

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

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

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.

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.

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