Can you refer me to Deloitte? I will exchange my cism notes with you

All you need is the database. Might take the cybrary videos from Kelly handerhan

SBC1 I’m at KPMG now, but can referral you and probably get your job as an SC or above shoot me a DM

& would y’all say it’s easier than the CISA?

It's almost the same

How easy are we talking? I have 1 year of experience and don’t know a ton of in depth cyber stuff, but looking to get certified to help this. Is this where I should start?

Just the Q/A for now. That’s why I made this post to see what else I should study
