As an army veteran, I think for lack of a better word the lack of "professionalism" or "discipline" in the marching and on display is definitely a sign. Those service members don’t want to be doing this and they’re very frustrated. That’s the sense I get.
🔥 🔥🔥There is NO cybersecurity skills gap. 🔥🔥🔥
What we’re seeing is late stage capitalism. Mass layoffs. RTO mandates. Federal positions eliminated. Gov’t contracts slashed.
Highly qualified cybersecurity professionals - people with decades of experience, degrees, certifications, security clearances, leadership experience - are out of work right now!
And yet, people are still out here pushing “just get a cyber cert,” or “go get a cybersecurity degree,” as if that’s going to solve anything. It won’t!
This isn’t a skills problem. It’s an economic problem!
Look at the CEO-to-worker pay ratio. Look at how shareholder profits and quarterly earnings are the only thing that matter in boardrooms.
Companies would rather lay off entire cybersecurity teams than risk slightly lower short-term profits. It’s unsustainable! It has been for years!
White collar technical fields have been largely insulated from this before - but now?
We’re in the “Find Out” stage of the capitalism FAFO cycle.
If you’re struggling right now: It is not you. It’s not your skills. It’s not your résumé!
It’s the system! We're in a bad system and the system needs fixed holistically.

I had the pleasure of catching a few talks at @pancakescon on Sunday. This online event that is put together by @hacks4pancakes is simply amazing! I love the format of the talks and this is such a great free online yearly conference. All the Slack chat was awesome and the talks I saw were fantastic.
We adopted a kitty today. Will get better pics after she settles in
My daughter graduated from Point Park University today!!! Woohoo!!!! 💜👌🏻💯
Gimli has been a big part of the family for 14 years but today is our last day with him. He's been brave but has been in pain for a long time. We are heartbroken today 💜
After 9.5 years Rebecca and I got married yesterday. My daughter wanted to be there so we did it while she was back from college on holiday. I hope everyone is having a good holiday season 💜
Into post? I guess this is the thing to do 🤷 I'm joining this for the #cybersecurity and #infosec and #cti community. I'm a CTI analyst. I'm a huge #soccer fanatic supporting #liverpool and the US teams. I help with #DianaInitiative @DianaInitiative with the career village and I volunteer with other communities too. Have a great Friday y'all 💜💯
