We will be covering what the rest of the year will look like, talk about the COHORT and talk about RMF controls from NIST SP 800-53 R5. If you are looking to be on the inside, we will be looking at each of the controls, and each controls enhancements in our Cup of Cyber mornings for the rest of the year.

The answer was simple, we will take a small group of motivated individuals and train them in the basics of the technology field. We asked for these individuals to stand up and accept the challenge and the call was answered. For those accepted into this first COHORT there will be no cost, but we hope you get the following books to help prepare for this career. [note: these links are my affiliate links and you do not have to get your books from these links]. If you were selected for the COHORT you will be notified this week and the training will start April 1.

The COHORT will cover more than just the technology, we will also cover the other tasks that will need to be followed to become successful in the information technology field. This will include gaining experience, developing resumes, gaining certifications (of course). We will point out what will help members of the COHORT get a start and ahead in this challenging and rewarding field.

It is, however, not too late. I have held out a few slots for folks that still want to challenge themselves to get a new career in an expanding field. Contact us immediately to be considered to be included in the 2021 Vanguard COHORT.


To be clear there has been a 0% unemployment rate and this has been consistent since 2011! In fact, there is a projected shortage of 3.5 million security professionals in 2021. (1). It is important that the right people with the right training and experience fill these positions. That is why we want to develop security prohttps://www.esecurityplanet.com/trends/cybersecurity-employment-2021/fessionals – not just train people for a certification exam.

When we look at SP 800-37 R2 it looks like this is one of the smaller steps with only two tasks, but this step is much larger than it appears. Up to this point, we have been planning and documenting how we think the controls will be implemented, but now we have to actually complete the implementation, that is the first task. As you can imagine the implementation may not go as planned and you may need to change how you implement some of the controls. Any changes in implementation will result in the need for the planned implementation documentation that was created in the select step to be updated, that is the second task in this step. So join us at 7:30 AM Eastern to talk about this of watch anytime through the day.

If you have been following things you will know that there are many people that have been talking a lot about the $15 an hour minimum wage, both for and against. I know the simple economics of raising the wage is this, if you raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour big businesses will replace workers with automation, small businesses will cut staff or close and those that adjust to the new minimum wage will pass this on to the customers raising prices, that is just the truth.

Now for me, I got lucky - it is often better to be lucky than good and I was lucky many times in my life that have lead me to where I am as a Director of Cyber Engineering for an awesome financial organization with over 25 years of experience in cyber security. I could go on about the education and experience I have but that is not the point... here is the point ...

I am looking for a COHORT of people that are willing to take a year-long journey to gain the experience and training to work in the ever-expanding world of Cyber Security. I am looking for 10 to 15 people that are willing to put in the time - no not money, the people selected will get this for free. we will cover the basics of technology, Cloud Computing, Computer Security, Risk Management, and Resume and Job Search Trining. This year will go fast and there will be a lot of training packed into the next 11 months (I know January is gone already).

I hope that I can find Military Veterans, High School Students not Going to College, or people changing careers.

PM me to get on the list and if you just want to watch the experience unfold follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CyberReconTr...​ and youtube at https://www.youtube.com/cyber-recon​.

Please if you know anyone that could benefit from this please let me know. This is not a trick or scam, I am just trying to pass on the good fortune and luck I have had to this next group.

Please follow us in the is the great journey this year and share with anyone that could benefit from this.

There are many schools that offer educational programs that say they emphasize cyber, but many times these students leave higher education with outdated of limited skills and huge student loans. On the hiring side recruiters, HR staff, and hiring managers post entry-level openings that require a CISSP, a certification that requires 5 years of experience - no one would consider the CISSP an entry-level certification. We need more people in this field but are often our own worse enemy, why post unrealistic requirements or be frustrated with college students that have spent more than half of their education on nontechnical/cybersecurity skills and what they have is often outdated.

Why not look at the problem from a different angle and develop your own cyber professionals in the house? In this live session, we will discuss that thought.
