TryHackMe and HacktheBox Progress
I have been on TryHackMe since September 2023 and have recently done training to become a Level 10 Harry Wizard. Trying to get the 30 day streak badge and have two more days to go. I am currently enrolled in the SOC Analyst 1 Learning Path and have been working on the Phishing rooms. There is a Phishing badge that is tied to the completion of the Phishing Module.
The other CTF (Capture the Flag) site that I have been working on is HacktheBox. On HacktheBox, I am still working on the Cracking into HTB Module. For the CTF space, I did try PicoCTF but preferred the gamification of the HTB and THM sites. Both of these sites offer Certificates with HacktheBox having certifications like the CDSA and CPTS.
Entrepreneurship Training
I have recently started to think about what I want to do as an entrepreneur. I am leaning more towards small business and angel capital types of businesses to be a mentor and provide capital to these types of companies. Looking at a certification called the ESB which is Entrepreneurship and Small Business that is on Certiport. I am looking at doing the ESB in order to accomplish some of my future goals.
Cybersecurity
Doing cybersecurity as more of my skill set and have recently been looking into doing some Microsoft Security certifications after the MD-102 and AZ-900 exams. The SC-900 and the SC-300 are two of the exams that I want to accomplish in the security path. Thinking about doing a secondary skill set in Microsoft Security certifications and having my main skill set in Cisco certifications.
Conclusion
These initiatives are from things that I have been working on while striving to be an entrepreneur and a CTO/CISO. I am thinking that I can still do the CCNA this year along with the ESB and MD-102. The MD-102 is the Endpoint Administrator Associate and will help with my Systems Administration skills. There is a new CompTIA certification that I might be able to squeeze in called the Tech+ which is not out until September 2024.
