Welcome to the group, everyone! 👋 Before we jump into training, let's talk about where this path can lead. So... what does an ISSO actually do? An Information System Security Officer is at the heart of an organization's security. You'll help: - Keep systems compliant with security frameworks (like NIST 800-53) - Assess and manage risk - Support the approval process for systems going live (ATOs) - Make sure security controls aren't just written down — but actually working Right now, this is one of the most in-demand roles out there, especially with compliance needs like CMMC, FedRAMP, and FISMA growing fast. Where can this take you? This role opens a lot of doors: - ISSO → ISSM (moving into a leadership/management track) - GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) - Specializing in RMF, cloud security, or auditing Certifications like Security+, CAP, CISSP, or CISA will matter later — but first, focus on really understanding the fundamentals. That foundation is what will carry you. I'd love to hear from you 💬 What pulled you toward cybersecurity? And where do you hope this role takes you in the next 2-3 years?
