Not to guess why it was not included, but speaking as someone from the infosec realm, it has a reputation for spam and phishing.

I disagree based on my decade+ experience working with Federal employees. I would guess that 50% of GS-13 to GS-15 (heck even SES) are mostly incompetent, 40% get the basic minimum of their job complete, and the final 10% shoulder most of the work accomplished. I have come across many GS staff given busy work roles so they are "out of the way" of leadership's objectives. :edit: For folks downvoting me, this is just my personal opinion based on my experience working within IT and cybersecurity. My observations can easily be (and may actually be) untrue elsewhere (as noted by replies to my comment). Early in my career, I was a GS-13 myself.

Depends on the agency and role.

You're in cybersecurity/IT which is sadly a massive shitshow in most agencies outside of the DoD and DoE.

All I can say is the grass ain't greener in similarly sized private sector organizations.

Edit: I actually upvoted you. That said, Cyber/IT is treated differently and the GS scheme is different.

Relatively junior Economists, Accountants, and Statisticians won't be given a GS-13 position out the door, but it's more likely for Cyber/IT roles due to the salary constraints.

I shouldn't have used such broad strokes, you accurately assessed that my opinion is based on my experience with IT/cyber folks in the government.

All good! The Federal Government is a massive employer and your experiences are heavily sub-agency dependent. No two people will have a similar experience.

You have to expand on your last point please!

Just want to note that suggestion #2 is easily detected by any org with even a whiff of security tooling in place. Quick way to get terminated.

Have a budget, stick to it, be happy.

From a corporate perspective, either SentinelOne or CrowdStrike Falcon.

That stuff can bring the best of Apple's Macbook lineup to its knees.

I have seen it in use on Intel and M1 Macs in a developer-heavy userbase. It's fine.

Having used Chronicle, it felt like an underwhelming paper thin demo product compared to what the industry offers. May as well scrap it and lean on Mandiant's experience for a replacement.

FireEye was nowhere on the same level as Mandiant and the two companies split and FE was purchased by STG for $1.2 billion.

I started playing yesterday and have not yet completed the tutorial stuff yet, I quit in the middle of it in fact.

Tutorial is longish and slow, but the game is definitely worth it!

The blog post just cuts off at the end? "Ultimately, this migration has resulted in increased adoption of centralized logging, including among core application teams and operations and"
