Good morning ECA Cyber Range Members!! What better way to wake up while drinking your favorite caffeinated beverage of choice than watching (or rewatching) last night's ECA Experts AMA Session! Members showed up and brought some great questions. Our main topic and focus was AI where @Philip Zangara asked a fantastic question about time spent on learning Splunk Cyber Skills vs. AI and LLM skills. If you have heard us talk about this before then you need to listen to this again as there are updates in the response - yeah, kind of like how AI gives you a different answer to the same question the very next day. I wonder where AI learned that? HA! In addition I cracked open the door on a new cybersecurity topic - DevSecOps. You may have heard of it....maybe even read a little about it....but I thought some time needed to be spent laying a foundation for it as from a cybersecurity learning and potential work perspective, its a whole new world of things you can pick up, focus on, and help organizations. Why? Because if AI is going to crank out code faster than developers, we have to protect that code too! Take some time, enjoy the recording, and I hope you walk away with some great nuggets of learning! The recording will be posted up in the Classroom too along with the other past recordings. Enjoy! 😎

TGIF ECA Cyber Range Members!!! Friendly reminder to you all - Monday, April 27th at 7:00pm CST we will be hosting an AMA session! We do not have a specific topic for this session so feel free to post up, share, and open up topics here in this thread! Nothing is off limits and I'm happy to help out with any subject matter related to cybersecurity, company's I've worked with, subject matter we have covered, servant leadership, and anything else that you would like to tackle. Looking forward to spending time with you all Monday night! 😎

Happy Saturday Morning, ECA Cyber Range Members! Some of you have asked about people I follow, read, and even get advice/guidance from. And while I've got a variety when it comes to cyber security, we also need people that we can get ideas, guidance, recommendations, and help from for career advice. I've helped some of you and even provided some guidance from time to time. But, one person I'd highly recommend you follow is Liz Ryan. She does share a lot about building your own business, but, she also helps with landing roles and jobs that you want. This week, her article had some great insights and she actually shared some direction I've even given before. It may sound familiar to you, but giving this article a read just builds and compounds whatever foundation you already have. So take some time and dive into this post - it'll help you and hopefully you walk away with a renewed plan and direction for landing that role you want: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-start-your-job-search-until-you-do-liz-ryan-w4vae/ Enjoy! 😎

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! 😎
