 ðŸ§­ IronSentinel: A Cybersecurity Journey in Progress

IronSentinel is more than just a blog about cybersecurity — it’s a reflection of my personal evolution.

I started my career as a .NET developer, working closely with application security, including resolving Veracode-reported flaws. That’s what first sparked my curiosity about cybersecurity — not just fixing issues, but truly understanding why they exist and how to prevent them.

What began as a spark turned into something deeper. I pursued and earned my CompTIA CySA+ certification, gaining hands-on knowledge during both the preparation process and the mindset shift that came with it. Passing with flying colors gave me confidence — but more importantly, it reminded me just how much more there is to learn.

This blog is my space to:

  • Share what I’m learning (in real-time)

  • Document tools, concepts, and techniques I don’t want to forget

  • Build a habit of curiosity and clarity

  • Help others like me — transitioning into cybersecurity, figuring it out one layer at a time

I’m not an expert. I’m a practitioner in motion. Still exploring, still growing.

If you're also someone trying to shift gears, protect what matters, or understand the digital world a little better — welcome.

Beyond tech, I’m deeply interested in spirituality, gardening, digital freedom, enjoy adventurous things (but don't rush through them. I take my challenges one at a time) and building things that actually help people. I'm someone who believes that quiet, consistent growth can change lives — and that resilience isn't just a buzzword, it's a practice.

If any of that resonates with you, feel free to Follow along, suggest tools, share insights — or just say hi. We’re all learning. Gear up. 🚧

🛡️ Part 2: How Our Router Setup Maps to CIS Controls — The Real‑World Tech for Trust Here’s how those simple actions we made in Part 1 help satisfy several CIS Controls (v8.1), giving everyday users meaningful protection aligned with respected cybersecurity best practices. Here 🧾 1. Device Inventory & Control → CIS Control 1 : Inventory and Control of Enterprise Assets: “You cannot defend if you do not know what you have”. 1.1: Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory Name and monitor each device (laptops, phones, smart devices, guest devices). Clear device names allow you to monitor connections and rule out unexpected ones. 1.2: Address Unauthorized Assets Remove old mesh devices or unknown devices and you can also block devices. Outcome: You're actively tracking what's connected, spotting unauthorized entries, and ensuring only known devices remain ( CIS ). 📦 2. Separate Network Segments (Main / Guest / IoT) → CIS Cont...
