What's going on ECA Cyber Range Members?!?! You've heard us talk about it! You've even seen it on the calendar (and then get rescheduled)! But last night, April 13th, it finally happened! That's right, we had the infamous OG Splunker/Cribl GOAT and resident DJ at large, @Paul Stout join us on the Monday AMA to share the Splunk ML/AI capabilities and high-level showcase what is possible within Splunk when it comes to your ML use cases. For me, it was a little walk down memory lane as I shared about how we got here and why. What used to be the old Machine Learning Toolkit has been transformed into the AI Toolkit with Machine Learning and it's what you need if you want to be successful at taking your Splunk data and mining ML use cases. So when you have a moment, give the recording a listen and fee free to let us know if you have any questions! What's coming? Well, for future Monday Night AMAs we here some rumblings that @Omar Sangurima is itching to get back in front of all of you to do another GRC Dojo (yeah, that's what we are calling it for now) session! When? TBD....so stay tuned! Have a good one y'all! 😎

Hello new ECA Cyber Range members! It’s an honor and a blessing to have you as part of what we’re building here. Our mission is to help you advance your cybersecurity career, grow your business or knowledge base, and learn how to invest in and profit from your new success. As new members, you have three monthly goals to hit — and we’ll check in on your progress during our weekly team calls: 1.) Announce your journey: Post on LinkedIn about joining the ECA Cyber Range so others know what you’re working on. Remember — closed mouths don’t get fed! 2.) Define your path: By the end of the month, identify which direction you want to take within cyber or tech — Detection Engineering, Threat Intel, SOC Analysis, etc. — and share it in our internal channels. 3.) Make real progress: Complete at least 4 modules in your chosen track within your first 30 days. Most of you will begin on the Analyst track, but the goal is consistent growth. 4.) Create time for self-improvement: Block dedicated time on your calendar each week to work on your ECA Cyber Range modules and community activities. Treat this like an investment in your future — consistency compounds! Have fun, interact with each other, and ask questions. Welcome to the dark side…
