 A gas and energy provider close to where I live got attacked recently. Just because they unknowingly shared stuff publicly they were not supposed to. Using Censys Internet Map, Heise shows in their article that it was easy to access files via HTTP and network share.   https://www.heise.de/news/Stadtwerke-Detmold-nach-IT-Vorfall-offline-11082906.html As a "junior IT guy" who is just following the news about cybersecurity a bit, I am happy there is a need for professional help, obviously, but at the same time, when I read the comments from more advanced members of the community, I am getting afraid about how deeply rooted the problem is, including a false sense of security by government and community. https://www.heise.de/forum/heise-online/Kommentare/IT-Vorfall-Stadtwerke-Detmold-nicht-mehr-erreichbar/Was-will-man-auch-erwarten/posting-45741595/show/ The commenter here says that critical infrastructure is not "critical" enough to be secured properly.

Here’s a cleaned, tighter version that keeps your voice—direct, first-person, no fluff. As I mentioned, I’m currently involved with a company called Helferline and I was also in contact with the Red Cross. Both asked me for a Führungszeugnis —so I got one. Given the current state of society and my experience with different companies in various ways, I’ve been thinking about implementing a kind of Zero Trust mindset in life.  Zero trust means "never trust (nobody, even myself), always verify". That means I want some verification that I can be trusted...as a person.  With that certificate, I’m adding a new “security layer.” In networking/security terms, you’d call this: Certificate-based authentication (and authorization) , built on a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) . If both sides verify each other with certificates (client and server), that’s mutual TLS (mTLS) . This is my way to show you that I can be trusted and my record is clean. Now—do you have something simi...

The truth is: it depends on who is asking. What do you need? What are you looking for in an administrator? Interface skills I studied Media Systems, which sits between media technology and IT. That gave me a broad foundation across fields and terminology. Even though I worked in graphics and management in the entertainment industry, I always had the IT basics with me. That helps me see both sides, communicate both, and do both. IaC (Infrastructure as Code) I have professional experience with Git, markup languages, scripting, and versioning. Even when I sat inside Art and Design departments, the work was usually part of software development for real products used by customers—and sometimes even architecture. Documentation Floor plans and graphics work (e.g., logical diagrams in draw.io) are part of my toolkit. I’ve done documentation and asset management. In games, “assets” are different from physical hardware, but the discipline is similar: we organized and managed thou...
