News from the Crushing Security team: launches, forum changes, events and platform updates. The team starts topics here and everyone can reply.

Say hello and celebrate wins. Tell us who you are, what you’re working on and where you want to go, and share every milestone along the way: a first role, a cert pass, a project shipped, a new direction.

Using AI in security work, securing AI systems, and building the AI skills the industry now expects. Share tools, workflows, experiments and honest takes on what works and what doesn’t.

Breaking in, levelling up, changing direction or rebuilding after a redundancy. Talk roles, certifications, study plans, CVs, interviews and how AI is changing the job market, and share what’s working for you.

What’s happening in the threat landscape right now. Break down a live threat, share how you’d detect or respond to it, and talk about what it means for defenders.

Stuck on something? Ask about detections, logs, cloud, scripts, tools, labs or investigations, in any area of security. Say what you’ve already tried so people can help faster.

Show your work and get feedback: projects, labs, challenge writeups, detections, portfolios and anything you’ve built. If a post gives away a full challenge solution, say so in the first line so others can still try.

Anything that doesn’t fit elsewhere: industry news you’re reading, tools you’re trying, life in the field, or just what’s on your mind.
