Why just scroll job boards when you can build a pipeline instead?
I spent today automating my job search workflow: targeted discovery, custom resume tailoring, and application tracking, all running on a set schedule. The system is live.
CISSP, 10+ years across Security Engineering, GRC, and Vulnerability Management (NIST 800-53, HITRUST). Currently building out AI security work too, LLM red teaming and governance frameworks, on top of the traditional stack.
Looking for my next remote IT security role. If your team wants a builder who prioritizes automated solutions over manual effort, let’s connect.

Just finished a video introduction as part of a job application process. The video took me a few takes since it's awkward doing a 2 minute "tell me about yourself" into the abyss. The video takes forever to upload, gets to about 23% and then fails. When I click retry, I'm now greeted with a window letting me know I can record my intro again. 🤦
Is anyone else running into a paywall just to network? 🤔
I’m feeling pretty disappointed with the current experience here. I initially joined after seeing a LinkedIn job posting steer me toward this platform, but I couldn't even find the listing once I arrived. While a dedicated space exclusively for cybersecurity professionals is a brilliant concept, locking basic connection features behind a premium subscription feels like a major hurdle for community building.
For a platform meant to foster industry growth, accessible networking should be the foundation, not a paid add-on.

I can no longer connect with other people without being premium? 🤔
This is a shame I had high hopes for this platform; even though I was lead here through a job posting on LinkedIn I could never find on here. A place for only cyber security professionals seems like a good idea.
