I continue to see the same pattern across organizations: Strong cybersecurity specialization, but weakening foundational understanding. That gap shows up in risk decisions, tooling, and incident response. Specialization without context creates blind spots. I wrote a small article about this: thehackernews.com/2026/03/th…

The Hidden Cost of Cybersecurity Specialization: Losing Foundational Skills

Lack of foundational cybersecurity context weakens risk prioritization, causing misaligned tools and slower incident response.

Hey everyone! Are you wanting to take SEC401: Security Essentials – Network, Endpoint, and Cloud, with the author of the course? As the author and lead instructor of SEC401, I am often asked, “When can I take the course with you?” You can find my upcoming schedule here: sans.org/profiles/bryan-simo… I only instruct about once per month, so spots are limited. My next session is SANS Cyber Security Mountain, running March 31 – April 5 (online). Hope to see you there! @SANSInstitute @new_2_cyber @SANSDefense #SEC401 #SecurityEssentials

I’m so proud of my @EdmontonOilers. Coming back from being 31st in the league and making it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Even though it was a loss, there is so much to celebrate from this season.
