We just dropped docs for our @github Actions DevSecOps Pipeline on @devsecblueprint! 🛠️🔥 ✅ SAST w/ @SonarCloud ✅ DAST w/ ZAP by @Checkmarx ✅ @AquaSecTeam's Trivy for CVEs & SBOM ✅ GHCR image publishing Check it out here: devsecblueprint.com/projects… Big shoutout to @Thogue1267 for leading the build. I just helped advise & contributed to the docs! 🙌 #DevSecOps #GitHubActions #CloudSecurity #OpenSource #CICD #DSB

Very true - tbh. I got three videos where I define the certification pathway on becoming a cloud security engineer. Check em out below: AWS: youtu.be/EVIROVjqWno GCP: youtu.be/3290ejyWs_A Azure: youtu.be/8Pz6MC9Alt4

Our @learntocloud Phase 5: Cloud security fundamentals has been updated. Massive thank you to @ethanolivertroy for all the work here. Everything you need to get started with cloud security, right here on L2C, the best courseware to learn the fundamentals of cloud engineering.

It’s already been three months at @learntocloud time really flies when you’re doing what you love!❤️ It still feels like yesterday when I read my offer letter over and over again because it felt so unreal!! From the pay, to the work equipment (yes, I get to keep them!!!)

this is all you need, stop looking for roadmaps now! - linux - networking - bash and python - cloud: aws, azure or gcp - some devops - some security now go study!

For the longest time, I've been a strong proponent of learning cybersecurity fundamentals, especially computer networking. This video demonstrates how to approach this: youtu.be/cOI-a5vWzYs hint hint: it's not a course, or certification... #cybersecurity

Want to become a Cloud Security Engineer using Azure? ☁️🔐 I just dropped a video breaking down the exact certification path to get there in 2025. 🧠 AZ-900 → SC-900 → AZ-104 → AZ-500 → SC-100 📽️ Watch here: youtu.be/8Pz6MC9Alt4?si=Oia-… #Azure #CloudSecurity #Cybersecurity #AzureCerts #CloudCareers

You can get all the certifications and degrees in the world but if you don't have a good resume, can't show your value to a company, not applying enough, and not networking enough you won't get any results.

Hey, y'all!!! I’m excited to share that we’ve made new updates to @devsecblueprint! We’ve added an "Additional Resources" section to provide even more value to the community: 🔹 FAQ Page – Answers to the most common questions I’ve received. 🔹 Resume Help & Guidance – A collection of resume templates, writing tips, and resources from industry experts, including insights from @learntocloud, myself, and others in the field. Check it out here: devsecblueprint.com/category… More content and hands-on projects are on the way. Let me know what you think and if there’s anything else you’d like to see. #DevSecOps #CyberSecurity #CareerGrowth #CloudSecurity #devsecblueprint

Too few security engineers understand this simple fact: We are not paid to deploy or use tools. We are paid to reduce risk. Sure, we often deliver solutions through detections, automation, policies or code—but not always. Security engineers who fail to recognize this neglect the full skillset and mindset needed for real impact. They become tool operators instead of problem solvers, and those are the roles AI will replace.

Here’s MY focus for the next 2 years.. I’m locking in on AI/ML, Python, Cloud Infrastructure and Serverless. This is all personal! Don’t follow me.. I don’t have the answers for YOUR life 😂

Y'all!! I got some BIG news to share!!! 🗣️ I've been featured by the University of Maryland Global Campus Center for Security Studies in their Cybersecurity Alumni Spotlight series. I'm truly honored to share my journey in cybersecurity - from earning my master’s in cybersecurity technology from UMGC in 2023 to now serving as the SVP of Cloud Security Engineering at a global bank (y'all know who it is) 😉 During the webinar, we talked about: 🔐 My path into cybersecurity 🎓 How my master’s degree helped propel my career 👔 Balancing leadership responsibilities in a fast-paced industry 🤝 The importance of sharing experiences and insights with others Check out the webinar link below: Webinar Link: m.youtube.com/watch?v=7c6wGv… Big shoutout to Calvin Nobles, Ph.D., Loyce Pailen, and the rest of the team for having me. I really appreciate the opportunity to speak and give back to my alma mater! 🧑‍🎓 #Cybersecurity #UMGC #AlumniSpotlight #Webinar #Leadership #CloudSecurity #TechCareers

I FREAKING GOT IN! 🥹🔥🔥🔥🧡🧡🧡 I honestly thought I wouldn't. Like I was ready to apply next year! 😭 Thank you so much, @PatrickOkwute @Ewere_EA @ifeanyi_otuonye, @iamnwani for all your help! My year just started! 😍🔥 #AWS

🦈 In this mini-course, we'll cover the basics of networking and protocols. You'll gain practical insights into DHCP, ARP, TCP/UDP, and more to deepen your understanding in just over an hour. So, if you're interested, dive in with me: youtu.be/o99nZlTNGqQ

I am officially a YouTube Partner now y'all!!!!! 🎉 Words cannot express how I'm feeling right now, but all I can say is THANK all of my subscribers and video watchers for watching my content and engaging with the videos. I wouldn't have gotten to this step without you all. 🙏 💜 Although I'm not creating content for the money, it will most likely enable me to create more content and make @devsecblueprint community much better than it is now. 😁 #devsecops #youtubepartner #youtuber #cloudsecurity

Episode Followup – The DevSec Blueprint buff.ly/4k2Qcmi

A year ago… I decided to start my YouTube channel. Today… I’ve finally passed the 2,000 subscriber mark. 🙌🎉 Since the launch, I’ve constantly learned new things about being a content creator and YouTuber…. And I’ve learned a hell of a lot about the power of algorithms. But the thing that truly keeps me going when things get rough is the amount of engagement and thank you messages I get in my comments on the videos. That really makes all the difference and keeps me inspired to continue going. 🥹 So… thank yall for following me and I have a lot more content coming soon… just need to make time 😅 (mix of career advice and technical videos) youtube.com/@damienjburks #cloudsecurity #devsecops #contentcreator #youtuber
