Master The Fundamentals, Then Change The System
Manage episode 524278299 series 2871161
We trace a journey from a teenage online threat to security engineering at global scale, exploring how deep fundamentals and distributed thinking shape reliable defenses. Along the way, we unpack certifications, teaching at scale, and building a practical path for learners worldwide.
• curiosity-driven path from fear to purpose
• foundations before security: systems then networks
• depth of concepts vs surface knowledge
• thinking at scale with distributed systems
• threat modeling as a constant that endures
• learning the why behind legacy architectures
• community building through a book and courses
• coding confidence for security practitioners
• practical framework for choosing certifications
• direction over collecting badges
• reflecting on progress and resetting goals
• links to connect and learn more
