Dan DeCloss (a.k.a. wh33lhouse on Slack and @PlexTracFTW aon Twitter) joined me virtually in the studio to talk about his passion project, PlexTrac. Dan also shared his insight on all sorts of great topics, including:
How to bleed "purple" and get comfortable playing on both the attacking and defending side of the house
What areas are we failing in defending our networks - and what kind of things can we do make our networks more resilient?!
What's the biggest challenge you see on both the blue and red team side (spoiler alert: communication is super important!)?
How do you break into a cyber security position that requires X years of experience when you have zero experience (Dan offers a great tip: don't be intimidated by requirements on job postings...they're often excessive/unreasonable)
Ways to show security aptitude on your resume without necessarily having a bunch of experience:
Build a home lab Create a blog Bug bounties Make a podcast Get certs (or at least get enrolled in them) Some history on PlexTrac and what inspired Dan to create it
