That sounds awesome! There are not enough boots on the ground.

Agreed! It's an important next step - the old guard isn't getting younger and there doesn't seem to be enough of an incentive to train the next gen.

Have tried it a bit, and decided to go back to basic sysadmin and programming, I feel like cybersecurity is the janitorial career path of IT.. Only difference is between them and a janitor is as a cybersecurity person as long as nothing happened yet you merely can report the crap.. If something is a concern or happened to the competition, you get told you need to do this as quite and cheaply as possible shovel the crap down the road. When something finally happens, basically a bunch of fans get installed so they can throw crap at it, in the end they end up with more crap and the fans do nothing except spread it. My real concern is I don't think they can do enough to incentivise it and even then it might be attracting the wrong crowd to it. Everything is starting to seem like it's just waiting for the right turd burglar to come along. It's all a pardiam shifting without a clutch.
