Hi I’m Perly At 16 I was the third largest artist on Pinterest Was published in two nation-wide anthologies for art And one for poetry Worked with top creators and brands like stabilo Then I quit art Switched to cybersecurity And at 18 I beat 750 industry professionals at my first CTF with Target Then 100 more at AWS Now idk what I’m gonna do next, but I’ve met the coolest ppl doing crazy things who inspire me to try and take a swing (and monetize it this time lolπŸ₯²) best of all, I make art again

I’d love to see cybersecurity combined with creative fields Because historically, it’s lowkey boring Especially when it comes to education Just the same stuff over and over and over again I don’t wanna hear what IDOR is for the tenth time! Let’s see focus on secure design, how defensive skills shift for different industries etc If you work in cybersecurity for a creative company, I’d love to interview you about this! And if you’re passionate about changing the way to learn and teach about cyber, plz reach out! :D

ppl think ai means nothing is secure and will replace practitioners Wrong yall That’s just the ai labs scaring you into spending your cybersecurity budget on fable tokens In fact, most cyber startups to come out of this ai boom are slop Which actually put real practitioners in more demand than ever lol Not to say all the ai is slop, in the right hands is awesome But yes, the scanners and ai pentesters are not gonna solve your problems my dude Just hire an actual security engineer

I’ve lost count of days reposting this But day I think 11? Of reposting this until there is a security fellowship :D
Dear @a16z here's why yall should start a security fellowship the dominant view held by the startup world on security can be summed up in one word 'eh' first security hire is usually some compliance person because a corp needs a soc2 or some other (tbh fake) cert and if startups keep not caring, users stop trusting which puts pressure on the feedback loop that is critical for innovation this is especially urgent now, for the reason you have all heard a million times, ai is supercharging threats, And theres a lot of attention on the attacker side of things BUT whole categories are getting ignored threat intel, incident response, blue team, soc automation we need more voices in these fields given a platform and lastly you will be the first almost zero VCs are investing in security yes, they're throwing money at every pitch with the right buzzwords but no fellowships. no accelerators. no grants for a field as critical as security….this isn't great So in summation, a security fellowship would benefit many and would also be really freaking cool sincerely, perly @davidu

How come every cyber education platform is for red team Where’s the blue team platforms? I’m talking - writing detection rules - synthesizing threat intelligence - handling alerts SIEM queries - setting up firewalls - network security - digital forensics Etc
