I continue to see the same pattern across organizations:
Strong cybersecurity specialization, but weakening foundational understanding. That gap shows up in risk decisions, tooling, and incident response.
Specialization without context creates blind spots.

Hey everyone! Are you wanting to take SEC401: Security Essentials – Network, Endpoint, and Cloud, with the author of the course?
As the author and lead instructor of SEC401, I am often asked, “When can I take the course with you?” You can find my upcoming schedule here: sans.org/profiles/bryan-simo…
I only instruct about once per month, so spots are limited. My next session is SANS Cyber Security Mountain, running March 31 – April 5 (online).
Hope to see you there!

I’m so proud of my @EdmontonOilers. Coming back from being 31st in the league and making it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Even though it was a loss, there is so much to celebrate from this season.
