Looking to connect with: cloud engineers, SOC analysts, cybersecurity students, threat intelligence analysts, and security architects.

I want to follow more Cybersecurity beginners and support them by reposting their content. If you’re learning Cybersecurity and I have not followed you yet, please let me know 💙

@ireteeh Ma @ireteeh am learning and I will appreciate if you follow me too, I will love to be your mentee someday

Yes, I am a Cybersecurity Analyst and I work in a SOC. No, I can’t fix your laptop. No, I don’t install Windows and drivers. No, I can’t tell you why your internet is laggy. No, I don’t recover WhatsApp accounts 😂 No, I don’t recover Facebook passwords. I hunt threats. I analyze logs. I stop breaches. I’m sorry. I’m just a SOC Analyst.

On March 24th, I sat for ISC2 exam and passed. Mid-exam, I felt unprepared, but the reality was different. I’d been preparing for months through projects and consistent study without realizing it. If you don't see progress yet, don't panic. Just keep showing up. #ISC2 #SOC

Going back to work today after the holidays be like:

When you resume at a new organization and they give you that ThinkPad laptop as your work tool. Lol, just get ready ………

Hello Cyber friends, We’re hosting a live interview prep session on X this weekend. If you have an upcoming interview or you want to sharpen your interview skills, this is a great opportunity to learn and practice. Our panelists will be conducting live mock interviews for participants across various cybersecurity domains (Governance, Risk and Compliance, Security Operations Center, Ethical Hacking, Application Security. Cloud Security), simulating real interview scenarios and providing practical feedback. Are you interested in being interviewed? Set your reminder and join the space. We’re also inviting recruiters, hiring managers, and Cybersecurity professionals to join. This is a great opportunity to connect and scout for emerging cybersecurity talent. Don’t miss it! x.com/i/spaces/1pkko…

@ireteeh Dr ireti for a reason

With my mentorship, you can go from NYSC completion to starting a Cybersecurity job. Anything is possible with Dr Ireti’s mentorship 💪

“Was At An Auction, And I Had To Stop And Make This Video Because What I Just Saw Is Tragic. A Dealer From Nigeria Just Bought a Salvage Car Tagged As Biohazard, And It’s Already Being Prepped For Shipping To Nigeria. This Car Was Tagged a Biohazard In The USA And Can Never Be Used Here Again. That’s What a Nigerian Dealer Bought, And It Will Later Be Fixed And Sold As a ‘Clean’ American Used Car. Endangering The Life Of Whoever Buys It. It’s Unfortunate That Nigeria Is Now Becoming a Dumping Ground For These Kinds Of Vehicles. How Can Nigeria Customs Even Clear Cars Like This?”. ~ Abroad-Based Nigerian

A guy came to our house to fix the AC. He had to uninstall it, while at it, water from the AC dropped on the floor. I expected him to request a mopping stick to clean the place, but he didn't, he kept stepping on the water till that spot became moist and dirty. He told me he was done and leaving, I told him he wasn't, and I brought him a mopping stick and a bucket of water to mop that spot. He refused, saying he has my type as wife at home. I said, "My type," meaning I'm not the one, mop, else I'll call your company right away. He mopped it o, to my satisfaction. Then I let him go.

Password Attacks and their Defense Mechanisms

Security Operation Analyst study note for beginners

When I lost my first USD remote job, it made me realize how very little many of us know about timezones. Nigeria runs on West Africa Time (WAT). And Nigeria's time is also expressed as GMT+1 and UTC+1. Not GMT. Not UTC. GMT+1 and UTC+1. What this means is that when it comes to GMT & UTC, Nigeria is +1 hour ahead, and WAT is Nigeria’s official time zone. So practically speaking: If it’s
• 12:00 PM GMT
• 12:00 PM UTC Then it is
• 1:00 PM in Nigeria (WAT) That +1 hour difference matters. Many people casually schedule meetings in GMT or UTC, and Nigerian workers assume it’s the same as their local time, but it’s not. Another thing many newbies don’t know is that some countries change their clocks twice a year because of Daylight Saving Time. But Nigeria does not. So the time difference between Nigeria and some countries changes depending on the time of the year. Example: A 9AM meeting in New York might be: 
• 3PM in Nigeria during one part of the year
• 2PM in Nigeria during another If you don’t understand this, you miss meetings, you respond late, and you look unreliable. And in remote work, reliability is everything. The easiest way to avoid timezone mistakes is to: 1. Always confirm the timezone used (GMT, UTC, etc.) 2. Convert every set time immediately to WAT 3. Save it in your calendar 4. Never assume. Always verify that you’ve converted corrected. Tools like Google Calendar and World Time Buddy make this easy. Remote work is global, and understanding the relationship between GMT, UTC, and WAT is one of those tiny details that determine whether you keep a job or lose one. Hope this helps.

Anyone looking for global opportunities and isn't following Imade is making a mistake. Again, one of the best individuals to happen to be on X!

@ireteeh @Cyblackorg I’m available ma

My team just informed me that a good number of the selected candidates did not reach out. We have done our best.
