About CyberSec

My name is Tobias, and I started as a developer decades ago. I have held many positions, including team lead, department head, board member, and self-employed consultant. However, everything had one thing in common - it was always about IT. Over the last 25 years, I learned a lot about security, privacy, and how to manage them. I steadily expanded my knowledge; however, there will still be much to learn.

I regularly attend cybersecurity conferences and events. Furthermore, I did a MicroMaster in Cybersecurity at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) and the Unlocking Information Security program at Tel Aviv University. I concluded that I wanted to share my knowledge with others, especially newcomers and interested parties. Therefore, I set up this website to provide a starting point for everyone interested in this topic.

I have lined up many slide decks, which I will publish in the upcoming months, and some cybersecurity tools to support your daily business. I wish all newcomers and readers of my slides all the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity or IT security protects networks, computer systems, and devices from theft or damage to their hardware and software or the data they process and from disrupting or misusing their services and functions. The information is private and business, which may be personal. Overall, cybersecurity is often (but not only) directed against cybercrime. Among the most significant challenges is the lack of global, centralized cybersecurity institutions and global agreements and regulations to detect and combat cybercrime and bring about cyber resilience.

A cyberattack can lead to identity theft, and blackmail attempts on an individual level. Personal data, such as credit card details or family photos, can be stolen. Critical infrastructures, such as power plants, hospitals, and financial service providers, are essential to the functioning of our society. In addition, industrial espionage is one of the most significant risks for companies.

These presentations aim at Analysts, Security Managers, Web Developers, Software Engineers, Administrators, DevOps, DevSecOps, Team Leads, Managers, CISOs, CTOs, and other Executives. The slide decks serve as an introduction and provide knowledge on all aspects of the subject area. To put it straight: Benefit from these online presentations and get more insights into the cybersecurity space.

These presentations introduce the topics and convey the contents in short, concise slides. It is crucial that the contents are as self-explanatory as possible and that the topic areas with the essential information are outlined.
Cybersecurity is a vast field. It is probably impossible to know everything or every detail. For this reason, many more courses will follow in the coming months to ensure the broadest possible coverage.

As you might imagine, cybersecurity is a broad field. Therefore, it is probably impossible to cover everything. It would go beyond the scope to write everything down. Hence, these slide decks are not intended to be exhaustive but will provide a good starting point.
