The purpose of this Skool community and is to go on a journey together of starting or growing our cyber security careers. Please introduce yourself to your fellow classmates here. Please include: - Your name - If you are new to cyber or how long you have been in cyber - What is one thing you are working on or struggling with - An activity you love that has nothing to do with cyber

Please express your interest in this cohort by putting your name in the comments below BEFORE: February 27, 2026. If there is more than 3 applicants I will select using a radon name selector. Starting on March 1, 2026 I will be taking 3 students as interns for the month of March. During March this cohort will be responsible for designing and building the cyber range base layer including: What we are working on: - Deploying a new Microsoft 365 tenant - Configuring Entra ID - Deploying VMs for you to do your work on - Deploying Defender on all endpoints There are a couple of requirements for anyone selected for this cohort: - You must be committed to completing the tasks as assigned during the month of March (this is critical for you to complete your internship) - You have to be on the $37 paid tier (this can be done after you are selected) What you will get for your hard work: - Verifiable 1 month resume experience. After you complete this month of Internship you can add this to your resume and I will be a personal reference for you. - Skills and knowledge you can take with you as you start or grow your cyber career.

It feels like a cyber security career is driven by the certifications you can achieve. But when you are staring out or trying to grow your career which certifications should you choose? I don't think there is a right answer. What cyber security certification are you planning on getting next? And is it your first certification in cyber?

I want to thank each of you who have joined this community to work on your cyber security career! Since you are a founding member I will be working directly with each of you to help create a plan for getting into cyber security. I have helped over 10 people get into cyber already before starting this program! I cancelled the group meeting for tomorrow, sorry for the short notice. I will be moving these group meetings to Friday. Before the start of next week I will setup a booking for that each of you can use to book a 1-1 meeting with me where we can go over your current situation and discuss your plan for getting into cyber! Looking forward to meeting each and every one of you! Have a great weekend!
