with Renzon Cruz

26 Oct 20264 min

You don’t need to pretend you know everything to become good at cybersecurity.

Renzon steps back from the technical side of DFIR and talks more about how he approaches the work itself.

We get into dealing with stress, switching off after difficult incident-response engagements and mentoring students.

He also talks about what keeps him sane outside work, why he enjoys teaching and the satisfaction of hearing that something he taught helped someone land a job or answer an interview question.

A more personal look at the mindset behind someone working across incident response, threat research, training and the cybersecurity community.
