#infosecsie — Public Fediverse posts

I’ve had a significant improvement in my energy levels as of late. It’s not 100% but I definitely feel more motivated and compelled to work out. I’m taking wins where I can.

Most of the time, I’m still mentally exhausted, though I’m getting better about “not caring” about the things that are bringing me down and prioritizing myself.

None of it is a perfect science of course.

I just did 100 squats with 65lbs.

My legs feel like horse legs.

My brain has flown away.

I’ve been thinking about “what I want to get out of life” a lot lately. Maaaaaybe it was a little bit of an existential crisis, too, but that’s kind of par for the course for me, anyway. 👀

So, anyway, I wrote this poem to gather my thoughts:

<start poem>

Who am I?

I am an amalgamation of everything I’ve seen, done, thought, imagined, and interacted with.

I’m more than a face.

I am a collection ideas, voices, passions— A force. A type of strength that can’t be seen.

I’m more than a body.

I am a legacy. What I want and what I envision will not die, even though I someday will.

</end poem>

I’ve realized that, at the very least, I want to do what I can to help make the world a better place, even if it’s in the smallest of ways. I can be a wave that creates a ripple effect— a wave that helps carry someone else to shore.

I love that my Mittens drawing has remained on the whiteboard at the yoga studio I frequent for months on end.

I got new shoes for squatting and OMG do they make all the difference. I’ve been missing out all of this time!!!

Highly recommend.

Day 1 of vacation: Getting my flex on!

I bought new workout shoes this week so I’m pretty stoked for that.

Trying to do things for me and to improve my overall physical and mental health. I’ve been in a rut for who knows how long and I keep feeling like I’m slipping back into a hole pretty consistently. I need to make some changes, for sure!

I’ve been going to yoga on Thursdays and it’s been a really great way to help keep myself from retreating inside of myself.

Happy with my progress as of late!

I’ve been getting back into the swing of things and I’m trending upward when it comes to my overall energy levels and progress.

After being injured and sick off and on, I’m finally getting to a place that feels REALLY GOOD.

On top of my typical training, I also have been doing physical therapy and yoga to help with some functional issues I’d been encountering.

Hope I can keep this up!

Last workout of the year! Did some glutes and hammies followed by the stair stepper!

I dislike most cardio activities. Lol. It’s why I usually play DDR for that.

It’s just me trying to actually look put together for a change instead of perpetually wearing sweats.

Love having the leg room mostly to myself.

I’m writing a blog about DevSecOps and Shift Left concepts. Something I’ve noticed is that in a lot of organizations I’ve talked to, there exist swaths of people who don’t even take application security into consideration as a part of their overall security strategy. (Even post log4j/log4shell.)

There have been times I’ve asked security leaders, “What are you currently doing to secure your SDLC?” and they respond, “Oh, sometimes we pentest the website or do some bug tests on the applications.”

There’s no SCA, no SBOMs, no SAST, no PR scanning, no container scanning, no DAST, no CI/CD gating, you name it.

I often hear, “We’re getting ready to do that” or, my favorite phrase, “We’re in the process of starting.”

This isn’t meant to ridicule anyone. This is more of me thinking to myself, “Wow, more information about this topic is needed.”

There’s a lot of articles, blogs, how to’s, courses, and other avenues that exist to explain these very things, but adding another one into the ether can only help, right?

Here is an #introduction post of sorts!

Maybe some of you have already been following me. In case you weren’t, don’t know who I am, or want to know more: Fear not!

I’m just a chonky purple raccoon that loves carbs and deadlifts! (My avatar has a name! It’s “Mittens”!)

That’s it! That’s the post. 👋

But, no… For real! My name is Stacy and I’m a Senior Solutions Engineer. I currently work in Cybersecurity Education and Training, but prior to that, I’d worked as an Information Security Analyst for a CISO of a sizable financial organization and was a Security Engineer and Solutions engineer at two other cybersecurity vendors, respectively.

I like to say I “specialize” in Security Strategy, Leadership, Security Awareness, Mitigating Human Risk, as well as high-level Cloud and DevSecOps Security and Compliance.

Aside from all that, I enjoy public speaking, learning new things, solving problems, creating art, making comics, writing blogs and stories, working out, powerlifting (aka picking up heavy things and putting them down again), playing video games, watching animation and anime, cosplaying, hanging out with my partner (who is a pentester), and doing the most good!

Now that you know what gets me that sweet, sweet dopamine, you may also be interested in knowing what I’m passionate about: Diversity, equity, inclusion, mental health, and advocating to minimize harassment, discrimination, bigotry, abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

Anyway! It’s great to see an amazing #infosec #community being built here!

(Note: I don’t *always* post about work or infosec-related stuff, especially when I’m not at work (as to not burn myself out), so expect a slice of life and variety of things from me!)
