"1. The constant evolution of cyber threats: The nature of cyber threats is constantly changing, forcing cybersecurity professionals to continually update their knowledge and skills."
Solution: Master the core, deduce high-level details on-demand.
Evolution isn't uniform. Cores of systems hardly change over decades - think allocators in software, binary logic in computers, and energy/fuel manufacturing in business. They're almost timeless in their fields. So, how fast a field changes is relative to one's view point. Change your perspective, take action, problem solved.
Also, distinguish between "core" and "foundation". The former is a deep structure that governs most of the field. The latter means shallow concepts that are a "must know" for beginners.
Example: Seasoned cybersecurity experts find no novelty in recent cyber threats. There is literally no information in those "news" when you understand the industry deep enough. It's predictable, trivial, and largely irrelevant. No anxiety or hustle.
I've decided to stop using black hoodie hacker pictures to represent an attacker , and exclusively use geese instead - so far I'm satisfied with that decision
Where do you think all the cybersecurity that is taught in universities came from? It was developed by people who, obviously, could not have learned it there. And the vast majority of us are still around.
Btw, In all my years of doing security I never heard of the “hire a witch to curse your dox post-leak” but this may be a lucrative future for me if the trend catches on.
As usual Apple is quoted saying that it costs millions of dollars to develop iOS attacks. I feel like Ivan Kristic doesn’t understand the concept of cost to develop, sales prices and profit margin. 🤷🏻♂️
This is lame. In Pwn2Own, if you hack a fully patched system, you win. I don't care if the vendor knew about the vuln. If they knew about it, they should have patched it. This is a win, plain and simple.
