Hi Guys @François B. Arthanas which would you recommend to prepare for Giac or EC certified Incident Handler Course?

Has anyone had experience setting up a virtual home lab?

Hey Cyber Fam👋🏾 If you’re reading this, you made it in… and we are so glad you did.

After this Guest Session I told Ulas & Dr. Gorkem Cetin that. Yesterday was one of those BEST day for the students in the program. Even those who couldn't attend watched it and one of them said. "Just finished watching, you weren't kidding I took so many notes and will have to watch this one again!" Next cohort start August 3rd and it's open for enrollment.

Real talk for a second. I've been having the same conversation over and over with people in this community, and it goes something like this: Me: "Have you mapped your AI systems against the EU AI Act's high-risk categories?" Them: "The what?" If that's you - no judgment. You are actually ahead of most professionals just by being in this community. But I want to make sure we're all on the same page, because the August 2026 deadline is going to catch a LOT of companies flat-footed. (assuming they don't change that deadline date) So here's the cliff notes version. Save this post. Come back to it. 📌 THE 8 HIGH-RISK CATEGORIES If your company uses AI for any of these, the EU AI Act applies: 1. Biometric ID (facial recognition, emotion detection) 2. Critical infrastructure (utilities) 3. Education (grading, admissions) 4. Employment (hiring, promotions, monitoring) 5. Essential services (credit, insurance, benefits) 6. Law enforcement (predictive policing) 7. Migration/asylum (visa risk) 8. Justice (case prediction) 📌 THE 6 THINGS YOU MUST DO If you're in scope, you owe regulators: ✓ Risk assessments ✓ Data quality + governance ✓ Technical documentation ✓ Human oversight ✓ Transparency + explainability ✓ Registration in an EU database 📌 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUR CAREER Look - I'm not trying to scare you. I'm trying to wake you up. When GDPR hit in 2018, the people who had built compliance expertise BEFORE the deadline became the most valuable hires of that decade. Companies were desperate. Consultants charged whatever they wanted. The same thing is about to happen with AI GRC. The professionals who can classify systems correctly, build compliance programs, and document evidence for regulators are going to be the ones running these functions by next year. That's the opportunity in this room. 📌 ACTION STEPS THIS WEEK If you want to actually do something with this: → Pick ONE of the 8 categories closest to your industry → Spend 30 minutes reading the actual Article in the AI Act (free online)
