Spoiler alert, Infosec is constantly changing and has much to explore.💖 Been at a bit and know a few things AND know 0 about writing android rootkits, the math behind AES, or how to run a conference. Its a journey to learn and deliver value. It's why its fun and not boring.

Heard the term "GRC" and not sure what it is? It's an information security / #cybersecurity term for a functional unit of a infosec program that is responsible for Governance, Risk, and Compliance. GRC interfaces with the business side of the house and sets ISO strategy. 😉

PSA, if you are reading this and dont have Multi-factor on your email account, take a minute and configure it. Friend just had her email account compromised, details changed, so she cant validate her identity to vendor. Also, tell a friend.
