There are not many ICS cyber security degree programs out there yet, but what I’ve been seeing has me very worried about curriculum.
Like, ICS cybersecurity is definitely a balance between process engineering, electronics, and traditional cybersecurity. Balancing those skills is a lot harder. Usually people are not experts in all those niches, but they do have to be able to learn them quickly and reason well.
If you focus entirely on one of those things you’ll be in trouble. If you try to learn them all to granular technical detail you’ll be in trouble. If you cannot understand and think critically about them all on the fly at a high level, you’ll be in trouble.
It’s a hell of a thing to build classes around (and that’s something I do). I would imagine creating a functional undergrad or graduate degree is far more difficult.
It’s important for students and teachers to understand that ICS is a huge space with numerous huge verticals.

I’m at Gen Con and yes, I have indeed lost my ability to converse with non infosec people.

I just brain dumped and stumbled on both Stargate and martinis and honestly I know a lot about both of those topics. It’s day one. At least it’s really quiet and people are masked.
It should NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT to talk about MSgt Siler or vermouth coherently
Then again I woke up at 3am in Boston, had lunch in my car in Chicago, and it’s now 6:20 in Indianapolis.

If you do the MCPA thing, I'll be speaking tomorrow. linkedin.com/posts/military…
(Along with the illustrious Sam Curry from @cybereason, who I do not believe has a twitter)
If you're milcyber and are not part of MCPA and AFCEA, I do not understand your strange ways.

Have all you youts seen this 90s how about hackers? It is a riot of a tongue-in-cheek X-Files spinoff, but it's been sh*tcanned because it predicted 9/11 a few months prior to the event in the pilot :(
(Which is really sad because it was a super fun show that encapsulated the silliest parts of 90s tech hacker culture with 100% camp, really well.)

There was an "s" in there somewhere, but I'm just going to leave it. Just go watch "The Lone Gunmen".

This is kind of weird advice but it’s important:
Don’t let the moment you show someone they’re professionally appreciated and you’re willing to help them do awesome new stuff be at their exit interview or early retirement. Even if you assume Everything Is Fine and never check in.
Then, when they have resolved to go? It is too late. They have made the difficult decision to go from your company or volunteer org or club. They are so very rarely going to rethink that decision or even be able to.
If you’re a manager or director you need to have candid conversations about what is causing your people to not succeed. If you’re like “hey, here is a cool thing this person could help with” the time is TODAY, because tomorrow they will assume you didn’t care enough to ask.

If you’re angry for no reason you’re burnt out,
If you’re sleepy for no reason you’re burnt out,
If you’re irrationally mad and your work suddenly looks bad,
Spontaneously apathetic you’re burnt out.
*This is not a clinical diagnosis, and please seek prompt and professional treatment for mental health concerns
But seriously, take a vacation, have an actual meal at a table, and reconsider your work life balance.
