Is"cyber security" complete flame
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 8th, 2024 11:14 AM Author: laughsome drab home sandwich It seems like every complete tard these days is into "cyber security" where they rack up "certifications" from lots of different companies that sell prep kits and charge for exams. Otherwise these people worked at Dominoes or Walmart while doing technical college diplomas.
Most of these "cyber security" companies employing these people seem like they only exist because the board has disabled veterans with University of Phoenix degrees and can therefore secure fraud contracts from the US gov or other companies obligated to throw money to DEI or veteran orgs.
There is also almost zero overlap between these people and e.g. FAANG software engineers with CS degrees. From what I can tell these people don't really write code or do System Design, it's more like being a technician using software tools written by actually competent people.
What's going on with this "industry"? |

Basically an unregulated medical industry so there are bound to be a lot of snake oil salesmen. Few have the technical chops to call out the bs.

Why is this field not dominated by people with legitimate CS backgrounds? The modal "cybersecurity expert" has an associate's degree from a community college or a 4 year degree from Devry |
