En Málaga o en Nueva York: Cómo ‘hackear’ tu carrera en ciberseguridad (Spanish)

Posted on by Ismael Valenzuela

Presentado en CyberCamp 18, Málaga, el 30 de Noviembre de 2018 (ver agenda y ponentes)

Full recording of the presentation in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUaVt3rjSwc&t=6991s (my talk starts at minute ’59).

Si hace 20 años, cuando trabajaba como desarrollador web para una pequeña ‘.com’ en Málaga, me hubiesen dicho que tendría la oportunidad de diseñar, construir y gestionar el programa de ciberseguridad de la red hospitalaria de la ciudad de Nueva York, el de un Banco en Dubai o el de una empresa de software con sede en Sydney, presentar mis proyectos en BlackHat, diseñar productos de seguridad para McAfee, liderar iniciativas de seguridad en Intel y formar a profesionales de Microsoft, Amazon, NASA o FBI, ¿qué crees que habría pensado? Obviamente… ¡que era imposible!

Pero, ¿no es en eso en lo que consiste la filosofía ‘hacker’? Hacer posible, lo imposible. Y todo empieza por ‘hackearte’ a ti mismo, crear tus oportunidades y sacar el máximo provecho de aquellas que se presentan. ¿Quieres saber cómo? En esta sesión compartiré recomendaciones y experiencias útiles, tanto para aquellos que quieren desarrollar su carrera en ciberseguridad, como aquellos que quieren impulsarla y desarrollar todo su potencial.

Posted on by Ismael Valenzuela

I can’t think of any better place to be in May than… Berlin!! So all packet-ninjas looking to improve their TCP/IP and traffic analysis skills are welcome to join us in the first ever Community SANS Berlin for the SECURITY 503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth track.

A full description of the event can be found here:

Registration is still open but you have to be quick. It might be also a good idea to drop me an email if you’re planning to be there 😉

See you in Berlin!

Teaching Community SANS Security 503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth

Posted on by Ismael Valenzuela

I’m glad to announce that I will be teaching Community SANS Security 503: Intrusion Detection In-Depth at Banbury, Oxfordshire (UK). This 6-day course will run from Monday, February 15, 2010 through Saturday, February 20, 2010.

If you haven’t heard of Community SANS courses before, I encourage you to have a look at this new format (new outside the US, where it’s been running for years). This is a great way of bringing the popular SANS courses to your local security community at a reasonable cost, especially for those that can’t attend the major events.  It’s worth mentioning that unlike the SANS Mentor  sessions, these are delivered over a six-day period, just like it is at a larger SANS event, including the full set of books and access to audio files. They are just delivered in your own community, in a small classroom setting and at a discounted cost for tuition and travel expenses.

I’ve already described my experience with SANS, both as student and facilitator, so I won’t go over that again. Also, you can find a further detailed description of the Security 503 track on SANS website, an outstanding course that I’ve already described as the “most valuable course I’ve ever taken”. However, I want you to listen to Mike Poor, instructor at the SANS Institute and co-author of this course (along with Judy Novak and Guy Bruneau), describing it on YouTube. Mike Poor is both an amazing professional and a great guy that I had the opportunity to meet at SANS Sydney in 2008, when I took his Penetration Testing class. As Mike would say, this IDS course is simply “awesome”!
