You don’t need to pretend you know everything to become good at cybersecurity.

Renzon steps back from the technical side of DFIR and talk more about how he approaches the work itself.

We get into dealing with stress, switching off after difficult incident-response engagements, mentoring students and why Renzon is comfortable telling someone:

He also talks about what keeps him sane outside work, why he enjoys teaching and the satisfaction of hearing that something he taught helped someone land a job or answer an interview question.

A more personal look at the mindset behind someone working across incident response, threat research, training and the cybersecurity community.

Renzon and I both spend a lot of time building and delivering cyber training, so we get into what we think is still missing.

And something that’s much harder to teach: the human element.

We talk about the need for affordable hands-on training built around current threats, why fundamentals are still so important, and why students shouldn’t rush straight into the flashy tools without understanding what’s happening underneath them.

Renzon also talks about his work building training through Guide Them and creating APT-focused blue-team labs with XINTRA.

The UAE has become an incredibly attractive place to build a cybersecurity career. The competition is getting tougher and tougher

Sometimes the best career advice really is simple: show up, meet people and ask questions.

Renzon talks about his experience working in the UAE, the growth of the local cybersecurity community and why simply being technically good isn’t always enough to get ahead.

We get into networking, mentorship, communities like 971Sec, attending meetups and actually approaching people who are already doing the job you want to do.

Renzon also shares the harder side of the market: more people wanting to move to the UAE, increasing expectations from employers and the lack of opportunities available to some fresh graduates.
