Certifications…
So, was poking around in the dashboard to ensure my installation was as up to date as possible to try to eradicate potential vulnerabilities, and had a read oy my last post. Well, since then I’ve taken and passed the following: Comptia A+ (parts 1 and 2), Network+, Security+, CySA+, and a couple of AWS basic certifications to bolster my cloud knowledge: https://www.credly.com/users/paul-bennett.57dc5ac1/badges I’ve been working for Beckhoff Automation for 18 months now, and will be looking to incorporate my cybersecurity knowledge into our offerings as well as hardening our exposure to potential attack.
