Hey guys, big news at Cyberspatial. It's been a really long time since I've posted any videos, mostly due to working on a new kind of visual network monitoring and visibility tool called Teleseer. There's a ton of work involved and simply not enough time to build a company and a YouTube channel at the same time.
That's why I'll be introducing a special someone to the channel who will be a new face for the channel: Dr. Steve. We'll be collaborating together on more technical tutorials ranging from network security to blue team cyber defense topics. It will be a pivot towards more technical content rather than broad topical ones, but this also means a more steady stream of releases for everyone.
I'm incredibly thankful for everyone who's been with us so far.
Stay tuned for our future videos, and I look forward to continuing the journey together!

One of the hardest things about learning cyber security is there’s no formal roadmap and a million different places to start. The more topics you explore, the more rabbit holes you discover. It’s really intimidating.
How do you manage this? It all starts with having a strategy and structured plan for learning. This way, you can stay on track and make consistent progress. Here are five simple steps to do this:
Step 1: Focus on topics related to your existing meaning structures. Meaning structures are areas of knowledge that we can tap into when learning something new. That’s why transitioning from I.T. or programming into cyber security is more accessible than from most other fields. You already have similar meaning structures in place. If you are from a non-technical background, pick a cyber security subfield that’s most related to what you already know.
Step 2: Interleave theory and practice to build competency. Doing this allows you to understand new topics from multiple perspectives. It also lets your brain rest and reorganizes during many sleep cycles over the weeks and months. Humans build competency over time, not in a one-time dose at a boot camp or crash course.
Step 3: Use teachers to assign you projects and provide feedback. Don’t rely on them for teaching. Many people think that learning is just a matter of someone telling them or showing them how to do something. Knowledge transfer happens by doing projects with guided feedback along the way from a teacher. Try this approach next time you’re working with a teacher, and you’ll be amazed at the progress.
Step 4: Build mental models to help organize your knowledge. Learning is more about knowledge organization than it is about accumulation. That’s why you need to acquire good mental models along the way. They are shortcuts that help you organize new information into a visual representation which acts as a meaningful structure for you to learn cyber security topics faster.
Step 5: Use mind maps to help visualize and structure your research process. To manage the overwhelming amount of new ideas and concepts you encounter when learning cyber security, you need to map them out on paper along the way. When you can decompose abstract ideas into visual chunks, it’s much easier to identify which areas to focus on or skip.

Ever thought of building a cyber security startup? I did. And it almost ruined my life (in a good way). Here’s some of my lessons learned along the way:
Life becomes much more stressful. This is because you go from wearing one hat to wearing a dozen hats. Except you can actually only work on one thing at a time.
You need to prioritize tasks based on the amount of time it will take to finish and the overall impact it will have on your startup. Saying “no” to busywork becomes
Another useful skill is developing the ability to “zoom’ in and out. This is the ability to pivot from detailed, tactical-level work to big-picture, strategic thinking.
There’s 3 business personalities in all of us. Striking the balance between your inner Tech, Manager, and Entrepreneur can help you deliver clear productivity in a world of chaos.
Building a business can be long and painful. It adds many projects to your life timeline, compressed in a short period.
But in the end, it’s going to be a much richer and colorful experience than just coasting and taking it easy. Which is why I’m going to be working on Teleseer, our network mapping software AND pushing YouTube content out.

Passing a cyber security certification takes work. Hard work. But what if you’re short on time? Like REALLY short? I passed a cyber cert from SANS in under 5 days just to see if it could be done. And here’s what I learned:
SANS cyber training and GIAC certs are two gold standards in cyber security. Weighing in over $7000, they’re what employers look for when hiring cyber talent.
Failure can be an expensive option. So whether you’re long or short on time, good prep and planning makes all the difference.
Cyber security certifications are hard because there’s so much info to learn. Students often describe cyber security training from SANS as drinking from a firehose. There’s so much content that the GIAC exams are open book!
So where should you even start? Here’s some of study tips I like to use:
- Backwards plan a study routine from test day
- Create tabs, index, and note sheets
- Most of your learning happens during sleep
- Do something active during breaks
- Rehearse practice tests like it’s real
- Repeated exposure over time
At the end of the day, certs aren’t the most important thing in cyber security. Strong skills and relationships will make you much more successful.
When it comes to cyber security certifications, invest in the study process to gain foundational knowledge. Then apply that knowledge in the workplace or home lab.

Commercial VPNs probably hurt your privacy and security more than they help. Behind the layers of marketing sits a darker side of the industry. Ask yourself questions like:
- Why trust a VPN company and their ISP over my own?
- Who’s actually running these companies?
- Why so many VPN ads on YouTube?
- What’s up with all the review sites?
VPNs are designed to transport devices from a network of low trust to high trust. Or bridge traffic between high and high trust. A site-to-site or corporate VPN both fall in this category.
With commercial VPNs, you’re more likely to be transporting your Internet to a network of lower or uncertain trust. Rather than just your ISP seeing your traffic, you grant this privilege to the VPN provider and their ISP too.
Most of the providers out there are owned by just a few parent companies. Many of them have hidden ownership and conflicting motivations. Many “no-logging” VPN companies have turned out to be doing the opposite.
You shouldn’t use a VPN if:
- You want to encrypt your traffic.
Most of your traffic is already encrypted because most common sites support HTTPS. Encrypting your DNS queries is becoming standard too in web browsers.
- You want to hide your identity.
There’s all kinds of other metadata in your network packets available to track you. Advanced actors can correlate them to track and discover your location.
There are some cases where using a VPN does make sense though.
- You want to mask your IP address.
- Circumventing IP blocks to watch Netflix
- Getting around national firewalls
- Bypassing download limits
- Performing offensive security assessments
- Conducting OSINT and research
If you do need a VPN, the best option is to do-it-yourself. Tunnel back to a home server. Set up a cloud server. Open-source software like Wireguard, Shadowsocks, and SSH makes this easy.
Not to mention the hundreds of guides out there to follow.

Cyber defense is much more than security. “Security” can be misleading since it encourages people to think in terms of secure or insecure. This way of thinking leads to an overemphasis on preventative measures. Just like the human body, you need many more layers than that. A good cyber defense will also focus on deception, detection, and response in addition to prevention. In this video, we cover the four most important principles of cyber defense.
#1 Security Architecture:
You can’t defend what you can’t see. It’s really hard to build strong cyber defenses if the foundations aren’t sound. Security architecture is about improving visibility in the network through segmentation. You also want to maintain a good asset inventory and map to quickly identify what’s even there. Implementing policies like blocking removable media or blocking protocols are also architectural in nature.
#2 Security Monitoring:
Every asset connected to the network needs to generate telemetry. This gives you visibility into the activity occurring on them. Network traffic itself should also be sent to an IDS sensor like Snort or Zeek to generate security data from it. These logs should be aggregated and synced to a centralized location for monitoring. A team of analysts can build systems to detect and alert on anything anomalous. This team serves as the backbone of the network’s cyber defense.
#3 Implement Choke Points
For effective security monitoring, it’s key to limit the paths devices can communicate on. Blocking outbound traffic by default is the best way to do this. What is allowed to traverse the network then needs closer inspection. The best way to do this is to force clients to use a local DNS resolver or web proxy to access the Internet. Any traffic not destined for these inspection points is automatically suspect. What does go through can then be analyzed against blocklists or a reputation scoring service. Choke points not only restrict an attacker’s maneuverability but also make it easier to conduct proper cyber defense.
#4 Harden Systems with a Security Baseline
Systems running default configurations are highly vulnerable to generalized attacks. Deploying a security baseline on your assets ensures a consistent level of hardening against them. It also helps with managing change configuration on your network. Authorities like CIS, NIST, DISA, or vendors will all provide recommendations for different types of systems. These include operating systems, applications, phones, and network appliances. Whether it’s scripts, Group Policy Objectives, or Ansible playbooks, they’ll also offer ways to automatically apply baselines too.

Want to win the cybersecurity interview? Learn how to fail first. In a recent interview with Stephen Semmelroth, he shared excellent advice on helping cyber professionals ace their job interviews. In this video, we recap some key takeaways but flipped to reasons why people fail.
Some of the reasons why include:
- Not conveying a deep and broad understanding of the cyber domain when answering technical questions.
- Not demonstrating passion and self-learning abilities through projects outside of work.
- Not aligning and contextualizing your application to the job description and company needs.
- Poor audiovisuals and personal optics for a virtual interview
- Social faux pas and basic etiquette.
- Insufficient due diligence about a company
Preparation doesn't necessarily mean doing everything right. More often than not, it's avoiding mistakes. Knowing what to avoid during your preparation helps you avoid mistakes.

The interview is one of the most crucial parts of applying for a cyber security position. It’s your window of opportunity to start or advance your career. You’ve probably already heard it all: make eye contact, look sharp, research the company...
But interviewing for a cyber security position is a little bit different. The technical gap makes it hard for HR professionals to find talented candidates. Just parsing a resume for the right keywords is difficult since terms and definitions in the cyber security industry is inconsistent.
In this interview with Stephen Semmelroth, we talk about the recruiting world and considerations when preparing for a cyber security interview. Stephen is a military veteran who’s transitioned from leading top cyber teams to now, the recruiting division at StrataCore, a cyber consultancy.
He shares tips and real-life experiences on how to ace the interview, be shortlisted in the process, and get hired for the cyber security job.
Several key takeaways Stephen emphasizes when you’re interviewing for a cyber security job include:
Alignment. Do your personal goals and abilities align with what the company is looking for? Tailor your resume and interview responses accordingly.
Due Diligence. If you’re chatting with a non-technical interviewer, frame your technical abilities in terms of driving business outcomes. Use your OSINT skills to find out the business reasons why a company is looking to fill a position.
Decisiveness. Many candidates expect the company to tell them their role. Rather, be decisive about the role you want and communicate with authority why you’re the right person.
Appearance. It matters. In virtual interviews factors, like camera, quiet, and sound make a huge impact on the impression for the interviewer.
Find an internal referral. This greatly increases the chances of your resume actually being read by a human. Referrals are much less expensive and risky for companies, and they tend to have higher success rates.

Russ Memisyazici is a DevSecOps engineer and cloud architect with 30+ years experience in IT and cyber security. From coaching US CyberPatriot teams to building the Virginia Cyber Range, he's got quite the colorful career.
By-the-way, it’s pronounced: my-mish-yah-zuh-juh.
In this interview, Russ shares his knowledge on:
- Cloud risks
- Future cloud technologies
- Thoughts on cyber certifications
- His personal journey in cyber security.
There's also advice for starting a DevSecOps career too!
DevSecOps combines cyber security with traditional DevOps to help developers deliver secure apps. As a DevSecOps engineer, you’ve got to be well-versed in both software development, IT operations, and cyber security. Whether it’s application security assessments, cloud deployments, or coding, you need a wide range of skills. It’s system administration on steroids.
A common DevSecOps workflow would be defining your entire infrastructure and deployment cycle as code. Then you would automate the tests, security assessment, and deployment with a CICD tool like Jenkins.
DevSecOps personnel are very sought after in the startup world. When it comes to building scalable infrastructure and deploying apps, DevSecOps folks are commandos of the tech world. It’s a fast-moving domain, with terminology and technology changing from one day to the next. Soon the term “DevSecOps” might even be replaced with “GitOps.”
But the most important thing that Russ highlights is to focus on the basics. Fundamentals like networking, scripting, or system administration, don’t change as much. Fancy new technologies that are coming out are all built on top of these skills. But they do take reading books and good old-fashioned keyboarding to acquire.
