@scottaltiparmak: I’ve interviewed 30+ security professionals this year, and one gap keeps showing up: technical foundations. Knowing how to investigate alerts, write detections, and use a SIEM is valuable. But security engineering eventually requires you to actually deploy, integrate, troubleshoot, and sometimes architect the systems you’re securing. That’s why some of the strongest security engineers I’ve worked with came from sysadmin and systems engineering backgrounds. Don’t just learn security tools. Learn networks. Learn systems. Learn identity. Understand what’s happening underneath the tool. That foundation will take you way further. #cybersecurity #securityengineer #cybersecuritycareer #infosec #cybersecurityjobs
