Society of Cybersecurity Professionals

Power In Partnership

This is a free-to-join, private LinkedIn community for cybersecurity professionals—practitioners, auditors, analysts, educators, and leaders—centered on practical exchange and real-world standards. The focus is signal over noise: we highlight detections that actually reduced alerts, control mappings that passed audits, incident retros with appropriate redactions, secure SDLC patterns that shipped, privacy tradeoffs that held up, and metrics that genuinely influenced decisions. If you care about clarity, rigor, and outcomes, this space is designed for you.

Inside the group, members share short lessons learned, practical templates and checklists, focused questions with context, and summarized audits or incident responses (always sanitized and respectful of confidentiality). No spam, no scraping, no off-topic promotion—professionalism, discretion, and crediting others’ work are expected norms. Membership is application-based to keep quality high; once approved, you’ll see curated resources, low-noise hiring threads, and professionally moderated discussions. If this sounds like the kind of peer community you’ve been looking for, apply to join and take part in the conversation.

Cyber Talks is a video podcast series from Bare Metal Cyber where I sit down with security practitioners, leaders, and solution providers to dig into real-world topics they care about most. Each session is a conversational, recorded interview built around a topic proposed by the guest — from technical deep dives and case studies to program lessons learned and thought leadership. Any cybersecurity professional or company that wants to share a meaningful, vendor-sane presentation with the community is welcome to apply. If you’d like to be featured on Cyber Talks, complete the form below and propose your topic, and we’ll follow up with the next steps.

Cybersecurity is more than tools and threats — it’s the people who choose this path, and I’d love to hear how you found yours. If you’re a student, early-career professional, veteran, career changer, or seasoned practitioner, you’re invited to share your story for a short, relaxed video conversation that will be featured across Bare Metal Cyber channels. Sign up to share a bit about your background, where you are in your journey, and what you’d like to talk about, and I’ll follow up to schedule an interview. Every path into cyber is different, and yours might be exactly the story someone else needs to hear.
