@adjacentnode: Security folks, this one's for you. Where is the line between network security and cybersecurity where you work? And who owns the firewalls at your company, the network team or the security team? Full conversation with Girard (@gkavelines) and Alexis on Life in Uptime. #networking #cybersecurity #networkengineer #infosec #lifeinuptime

Thomas Dang :

breadth vs depth, what about application security, IAM, vulnerability research, etc. network security is one subset of Information Security and GRC is another.

DatacenterDude :

I LOVE THIS TAKE SO MUCH 👏👏👏

Dozer :

network security is your firewalls, physical LAN and VLANs, cyber security is everything else, account security, conditional access, end user and program based security issues - cyber is how they get access, network is where they can access once they're in

salamandersam06 :

TIL I do multiple jobs 😭

oladunk :

i work in OT cybsec, fuck paperwork :(:(

IT-Labrat | NSA :

100% True😁. Network Secury fellas can be cyber security, Cyber Security fellas can’t be network security unless they have solid foundation and experience .

KernelKhaos :

As a cyber security professional, if I even dreamed of actually remediating a network issue the network engineers would go mental

Jeffrey Marani :

Security: “We need to make firewall changes. Someone get the network engineers on the phone.”

P1zzAfund :

Former Network Enginner turned CSec Architect and this is very true.

qwertysage :

😂😂😂 You said it, not me.

beansintrouble :

I used to think that way as I am a network security engineer until I started malware analysis, threat hunting, creating SIEM rules.. red teaming blue teaming purple teaming.. that’s a lot of technical skills required and they are very tough. What I love about it is that at every stage I felt like I had a clear understanding at where I am in the offensive world and where I wanna go next.. the paperwork kinda roles somehow land on maybe risk analysis or GRC.. my humble opinion…

coxendine_24 :

I do both so I feel both sides

mk_ja_great :

That's a very simple response and I love it 😁💯🥳💥

MrPhisch 🇨🇦 :

"Do I want to right now? No." That's what I'm talkin about [Big LOL]

Jefferson :

Network Security is more on hands on compared to Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity converts the technical knowledge of a Network Security Engineer into a reportable format. This is how I understand it and do enlighten me if its wrong 🙏

Dennis Lee | CyberSec Expert :

Hmm. There are some of us that do both. They kind of go “hand in hand “ in my mind. PS @kevinnanns. Not hating you.😀

Emin Lynx AI -Lynxengineer.com :

I think network

RichardG :

Exactly....sometimes I forget that I'm a network administrator.

TENJOH BLESS S. :

I'm synchronizing 💪

Fanta-Marie | Cybersecurity :

Clock it

Ivan Totti 🐙 :

Hacker que não entende de redes não pode ser considerado um hacker de verdade.

Sadiq mubeen Wala :

now I am proud to be doing right path as network security engineer 👏 🙌

Zone Vang :

Wow I to believe this 😳 I thought I was crazy

Willy Wonka Supreme Being :

can’t be good cybersecurity guy without being good network engineer first. Anyways that was my route from networks to cybersecurity architect. Currently working on SecX then CISSP planned for next year .
