Technical Skills Get You Hired. Judgement Gets You Promoted.

 Technical skills remain essential.

They establish credibility.

They help professionals understand how systems work, how threats operate and how controls reduce risk.

But career progression eventually requires something more.

The ability to understand context.

Balance competing priorities.

Recognise consequences.

Communicate trade-offs.

And make responsible decisions when the answer is not obvious.

Technical skills may help you secure the opportunity.

Judgement determines whether people trust you with greater responsibility.

Because promotion is rarely about knowing more than everyone else.

It is about demonstrating that you can make sound decisions when the situation becomes difficult.

A SIEM Migration Is Not Just a Technology Refresh. It Is a Security Risk Event.

 

The Most Dangerous Gap May Be Invisible

Security incidents rarely involve a single obvious event. An attacker may begin with phishing, obtain a credential, access a remote service, escalate privileges and extract sensitive data. Each step may appear harmless independently.

The SIEM connects these activities. If log sources remain split between old and new platforms, the complete attack sequence may no longer be visible in one place. Logs being collected is not the same as threat detection.

The important question is whether the organisation can still correlate related activity, detect critical attack scenarios and escalate alerts to the right responders in time.

Three Reasons You Haven’t Been Hacked... Yet

 Cybersecurity is one of the few areas where success can look exactly like luck.

No incident. No headline. No ransomware. No crisis. No regulatory reporting. No public breach.

But silence alone tells us very little.

It may mean your security is working. It may mean attackers have not chosen you yet. Or it may mean someone is already inside, quietly making sure you do not notice.

The real challenge is not to say, “We have never been hacked.”

The real challenge is to understand why.

From Technical to Financial

I have spent about 10 years working in IT technical field as an engineer and project manager.

Starting from 2013, I'm exploring new career as an IT Strategic Finance in Telco industry. What a drastic paradigm in my career change. 

Assimilating a technical and financial part is totally a new thing to me. Will share my experience on career diversion later.

JobStreet Scam Alert

I have received this alert. Good info for the job seeker out there.

We've noticed an increase in the amount of job scams recently. Scammers are pretending to be reputable Multinational Corporations, including Oil and Gas companies, and sending jobseekers an email confirming how they have been accepted for an interview overseas.


This would of course cost money to the jobseeker (air tickets, lodging, food etc.) but the letter states that the company is willing to 'sponsor' 100% of the jobseekers' expenses. The catch? Jobseekers will have to pay a 'refundable' deposit of USD$100 upwards. Needless to say once that fee has been paid, the victim realizes that no flights or lodgings have been reserved and that the interview offer is false.


A sample of communication emails from scammers, including screen shots, can be found on our JobStreet Forum at http://ow.ly/5QTS5.


Check out our Community Digest at http://ow.ly/5QTVC for more examples of common scam tactics.


We also have a Safe Job Search Guide at http://ow.ly/5QTXp with further tips and guidelines on what you can do if you do come across possible scams.


Thank you.
