[Tasha Sumo @DataSecChron]

👋🏽 Hi, I'm Tasha. As an atmospheric scientist I spent years reading storm data for anomalies. Now I hunt them in network traffic.

Same instinct, different domain. 📊

By day I'm a Senior Data Analyst living in SQL, Python, and dashboards. I founded DataSec Chronicles to document my pivot into cybersecurity, the raw, honest version. The wins, the technical hurdles, and the study strategies as I work toward the ISC2 CC, SC-900 and Security+.

Whether you're a data nerd, a cyber practitioner, a fellow career-changer, or just someone who appreciates good data hygiene and warm cup of chai tea, welcome to my corner of the inter webs.

What to expect:
🔍Data & cyber insights, complex concepts made simple
📚The pivot journey, study tips, resource reviews, real talk
🌱 Community, a space to learn out loud and grow together

Honestly, it was data that pulled me into cybersecurity. As a Senior Data Analyst, I was already asking questions like “what story is the data telling?” and I realized those same skills apply to threat detection and security. I just had to learn the cybersecurity side. 🔐

@TechPriest_001 🔒 Cybersecurity

Because every organization needs people who can understand data, identify risks, and protect what matters most.

@donsteve__ Great insight!

@RecruitmentPq SQL.

It took me from working with data to solving business problems—and that had the biggest impact on my earning potential.

Consistency is the whole game.

No viral spike—just showing up, writing, and leaving receipts every week.

Zero followers to a portfolio I can stand behind. That's the compounding nobody sees early.

Every post is another step toward the career I'm building. 🖤

1.3M records analyzed.
An exam that failed at #1 on r/isc2. A .gov subscriber.

A few weeks of building DataSec Chronicles in public taught me more than any course.

6/
Specific beats broad.

"Career changer breaking into cybersecurity" is a crowded lane.

"Data analyst applying anomaly detection skills to threat hunting" is a story I can own.

The tighter the niche, the clearer the signal.
