Currently working as a Content Engineer & Cyber Security Researcher at TryHackMe.</p> 58 <p><strong>Company:</strong> <a href="https://tryhackme.com/">TryHackMe</a> - an online platform for learning cybersecurity through hands-on CTFs.</p> 59 <h2 id="topics-discussed">Topics Discussed</h2> 60 <ul> 61 <li>Current state of cyber security Education</li> 62 <li>Challenges of continuous learning</li> 63 <li>TryHackMe ctf challenge</li> 64 </ul> 65 <h2 id="current-state-of-cybersecurity-education">Current State of Cybersecurity Education</h2> 66 <p>Niels talked about the massive skill gap that is preventing new people from getting into cybersecurity. This happens due to the lack of hands on experience that is required to get a job in the field. He says that the way to get the said experience is through platforms like TryHackMe that provide hands on experience through CTFs and gamify the process of learning. Even 30 minutes a day, if done regularly, can drastically improve your skills and give you a massive amount of experience.</p> 67 <h2 id="challenges-of-continuous-learning">Challenges of Continuous Learning</h2> 68 <p>Continuous learning is crucial in cybersecurity. Every day new threats, vulnerabilities and attack vectors are discovered, making it extremely hard to keep up. Niels remarks that a good company will invest into your continuous learning, but that is not enough. In order to stay relevant, you need to invest in yourself as well.</p> 69 <p>TryHackMe is show as the solution for that “self investment” as its a gamified learning platform, making the process feel rewarding and fulfilling. Due to the majority of the content being free, Niels argues that its the perfect solution to continuous learning in cybersecurity.</p> 70 <h2 id="tryhackme-ctf-challenge">TryHackMe CTF Challenge</h2> 71 <p>At the end of the talk, a CTF was announced. The teams that manage to solve the challenges first received one of many prizes.</p> 72 <p>Me and my friends managed to come 3rd in the competition. We could have been 1st, but due to a bug we could solve the last challenge, and when it got fixed, we were not the first to solve it.</p> 73 <p><img src="/images/tryhackmeCtfScoreboard.jpg" alt="scoreboard"> 74 <strong>group name:</strong> C0nd1t10ns</p> 75 <h2 id="my-thoughts">My Thoughts</h2> 76 <p>I like TryHackMe in concept, but I have not used it much. Niels did a great job at selling it to me. I will definitely give it a try.</p> 77 78 </div> 79 <footer class="content__footer"></footer> 80 81 </section> 82 83 <section class="page__aside"> 84 <div class="aside__about"> 85 <div class="aside__about"> 86 87 88 <h1 class="about__title">My Socials</h1> 89 <p class="about__description">I prefer matrix over anything.</p> 90 </div> 91 92 93 <ul class="aside__social-links"> 94 95 <li> 96 <a href="" rel="me" aria-label="SourceHut" title="SourceHut"><i class="fa-regular fa-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> 97 </li> 98 99 <li> 100 <a href="https://matrix.to/#/@fedorvin:matrix.org" rel="me" aria-label="Matrix" title="Matrix"><i class="fa-regular fa-comment" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> 101 </li> 102 103 <li> 104 <a href="/index.xml" rel="me" aria-label="RSS" title="RSS"><i class="fa-solid fa-rss" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> 105 </li> 106 107 <li> 108 <a href="mailto:vino-f@pm.me" rel="me" aria-label="Email" title="Email"><i class="fa-regular fa-envelope" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> 109 </li> 110 111 <li> 112 <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/fedor-vinogradov-b4454219a" rel="me" aria-label="LinkedIn" title="LinkedIn"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin-in" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> 113 </li> 114 115 </ul> 116 </div> 117 <hr> 118 <div class="aside__content"> 119 <p>how TryHackMe can keep you on the cutting edge of cybersecurity</p> 120 121 122 123 124 <hr> 125 <nav id="TableOfContents"> 126 <ul> 127 <li><a href="#whois">Whois</a></li> 128 <li><a href="#topics-discussed">Topics Discussed</a></li> 129 <li><a href="#current-state-of-cybersecurity-education">Current State of Cybersecurity Education</a></li> 130 <li><a href="#challenges-of-continuous-learning">Challenges of Continuous Learning</a></li> 131 <li><a href="#tryhackme-ctf-challenge">TryHackMe CTF Challenge</a></li> 132 <li><a href="#my-thoughts">My Thoughts</a></li> 133 </ul> 134 </nav> 135 <hr> 136 </div> 137 </section> 138 139 <footer class="page__footer"> 140 <p class="copyright"></p> 141 </footer> 142 143 </div> 144 </body> 145 146 </html>
