It has been several years since I was actively posting on this site. The last three or so years I stepped away from hands-on keyboard type of work and staying up-to-date on IT related information. I was focused on creating a quarterly enablement plan for all VMware Field Sales/Technical folks had the latest information related to VMware solutions. I did this on a global scale working with all the Program Managers of our solutions as well as the field sales managers ensuring field personnel were getting the proper ongoing enablement.

VMware was acquired a little over a year ago by Broadcom. As usual with acquisitions, positions get eliminated as mine did. So I am back looking for a new opportunity and have decided I want to get into Cyber Security and use my years of experience in IT and technology to support this new venture.

I had my CompTIA Security+ in the past but has expired so I am working on that now to re-certify and help with breaking into the security side of the house. After I finish that I will be doing the Certified Information Systems Professional (CISSP) and Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certifications over the next few months.

My hope is with these security focused certifications under my belt, I can break into a Cyber Security role. I know I will have to get an entry-level position, but I am willing to do what it takes.

Needless to say, my posts moving forward will be security focused to support my new career. I plan to post relevant security information related to IT. Hopefully as I learn, my readers will learn as well!

I also would love to hear from any of you in the industry with any suggestions as far as what to post here as well as for myself in my Cyber Security learning journey.

NOW LET THE FUN BEGIN!!
