Here are some thoughts and links about some of the things I’m thinking about for professional development and education for the year. Update 1 in early July with some details and “how it’s going”. Update 2 in early Oct with more details and “how it’s going”.

This looks like an awful lot of courses

• Seminar series and book club from Threat Intel Dot Academy (a few lectures behind)
• review a SANS core course to update and refresh skills
  • FOR508: Advanced Incident Response, Threat Hunting, and Digital Forensics (August .. Oct) TIL 508 post
  • probably DFIR Netwars run too, and DFIR Summit TIL
• helped a tiny with ICS4ICS workforce development
  • got my first credential there 3Q
• OffSec: PEN-200 this year, started …
• DFIR.Training / Brett S. (is back): Placing Suspects Behind the Keyboard V2 (ondemand, more to do)
• SANS Security Architecture/ZT course and certification: GCDA ($work) (May .. July 2024)
• Investigation Theory (AND) group study ($work) (May .. July)
• Antisyphon/MetaCTF range time: ACE-T™ Level 7 permalink

leadership and comms, too ?

$dayjob leader has some ideas about courses and seminars

• Do more writing/educating/presenting
  • apply to present (CFP)s: accepted & presented at B-Sides Atlanta 2024:
    • How Not … talk links
  • present & share at $work (brown bags)
  • posts & articles, quick shares
• more / better mentoring

Somewhat inspired by previous years’ plans. Feedback appreciated or just share what you are learning!
