In this Intern Midterm Review, we talk to Armando Bazan to learn what it’s like working in a SOC and how that’s influenced his outlook and career path in cybersecurity.
Our Summer 2022 intern cohort has four cyber-hungry interns who’ve eagerly jumped into learning what it’s like working in a Security Operations Center (SOC). Now that we’ve reached the internship halfway point, we thought it was time to conduct a midterm interview to learn what life’s really like inside the SOC at Ingalls! Read on to hear from our amazing intern Armando Bazan.
It has fortified my resolve and love for all things cyber. To be so eager to learn something and to be surrounded by such a supportive environment has really shown me that I made the right choice in changing careers.
OOH. This is so hard to answer. I love @darknetdiaries for their podcasts. They have amazing production and stories. As far as reading goes, I really enjoy @darkreading and @thehackernews. I can’t choose between those two. I try to read them both every day.
In the next year, I will most definitely renew my certification hunting. I will try to get my Security+, CYSA+ (if possible), and I and PNPT by TCM Security or the eJPT have been eyeing each other for a while.
I have 3 golden doodles that require lots of [exercise]. I like to spend time with them and my wife in the backyard either reading, or gardening. As well, I instruct my wife and some of her friends in defensive Thai martial arts when weather permits, instead of just weight lifting at the gym. Most of all, I would say reading and spending time outdoors are what most allow me to disconnect. I am a bit of an “eager beaver,” so I have to remind myself that practicing labs on @Tryhackme or downloading vulnerable boxes for tinkering in my VM are not really ideal for proper work-life balance.
