Asking for advice on a career in cybersecurity
Hi F5ers, I hope you are doing well. After getting F5 401 and 402 certified, and working with many security solutions during the last 13 years, I am planning to go deeper into other cybersecurity fields, like security auditing, governance and compliance, risk management... If anyone has already taken a similar move or has experience with other cybersecurity fields, please share what would be a good track for learning and certifications. Any information or advice is welcome CheersCybersecurity Awareness Month - Fun with Passwords
Head over to the password game and let me know what level you check out at! And Happy Cybersecurity Awareness Month! What security technology are you learning this month?

Hello, I'm kind of struggling to wrap my head around some weird spikes I'm seeing on the F5 BIG-IP Dashboard. We had two of these spikes this week, hitting like x1200 more SSL TPS than our usual high average. I'm thinking it might be some kind of attack, given the fact that we also faced some DDoS recently, but honestly, I have no clue how to dig deeper into it. Or is it possible to be a bug (found this: https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID499348.html) ? Any ideas are highly appreciated, thank you!Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT require users to change passwords periodically.
That subject line is a requirement in the most recent NIST publication for Digital Identity Guidelines. https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html A summary is here: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/24/09/27/0021240/nist-proposes-barring-some-of-the-most-nonsensical-password-rules with links to https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/09/nist-proposes-barring-some-of-the-most-nonsensical-password-rules/ The authors take is that these are nonsensical and commonsense updates. I agree, from a users perspective, with the basics set out in the piece - but what aren't they/I thinking about?
