Introduction
My concept for this site needs an update. This is something that will be more Network Security oriented and still about myself in a journal blog kind of format. I will be updating this content from just Cisco and Microsoft into something that encompasses my Network Security Influencer role.
This is something that I have been thinking about lately, where I need some kind of platform to express myself as a Network Security Influencer. I have chosen this platform as a tool to create a community around my aaron597.com blog. The way that I am doing this is through Instagram, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Concept
The concept for this site has some new direction. To get the concept off the ground, I am going to post weekly on this blog. Other changes include a scope change to anything around the Network Security niche in addition to focusing on my top fan status on multiple organizations including TryHackMe, HacktheBox, Router Nest, Palo Alto and others.
Within the concept, I will be trying out new things that I am interested in regarding Network Security. To provide the content I will be putting out Computer Networking, Cybersecurity and Network Security blog posts. The blog, aaron597.com, is more of a business on this site and will be thought of more as a business than as a personal blog like aaronwdejong.net is to me.
TryHackMe
Currently, I am ranked at #7370 with being ranked #959 in the All-time U.S. rankings. I have been doing easier rooms lately and building up my Exploit and Penetration Testing skills. There are some rooms that I have been doing that are regular rooms with the majority being CVE based rooms in the Exploitation skill.
Background
Having an IT background has helped me become a part-time writer for myself. I am now a writer for aaronwdejong.net, aaron597.com, and at Aaron W. DeJong IT Articles where I am also the editor. Aaron W. DeJong IT Articles is my own promotion on Medium. I also publish other articles on Medium and post my blog posts from the two blogs on Medium.
Conclusion
I am having some more time dedicated to writing and will be posting on aaron597.com and aaronwdejong.net weekly. I also have some time to write articles and focus on my Network Security niche. I am excited to be a Network Security Influencer due to my background in Computer Networking and some training that I have been doing for cybersecurity. I feel that this is something worth doing and I am committed to working on this going forward.
