I must say, it has been surprising how hard it has been to find a Senior Pentester that loves Secure Code review at a 7 figure salary based in South Africa. I am still hunting for that rare find, rare due to where the SA market is at the moment. I am looking for a senior pentester who can come on board, help build a team, and be part of something great. Secure code review is at the core of what our client is doing. If you are seen as a Senior Pentester, and enjoy code review, based in South Africa, let me know.

Anyone have experience in converting a Zimbabwean Degree with SAQA to SA standards that does not take 3-6 months?

Chartered Accounts, Book Keepers, and Accountants in South Africa. Have you been having issues with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) recently? I have been hearing reports of people who do Tax Returns, VAT Refunds at scale having account takeovers, and banking details being changed on refunds despite having MFA enabled along with authenticaton certificates. People making changes, then suddenly it changing on its own. Changing admins then reverting without their action. Seemingly automated or persistently. I now know of 2 Firms being affected, has yours? Drop me a DM, would love to gain more insight into this.

This is what faith looks like, empowered by a strong relationship. Talking about relationships (Personal) and Marriage have no place on LinkedIn, but lend me your ear==eyes. Dave and Erin decided to pull the business hand grenade in one of the most complex and competitive industries in the world. They backed each other, supported one another, and grew an idea into one of the world's best Security Companies. It made me reflect on my wife, and the sacrifices and tough times we have faced, including right now and for the last few months. All the while, supporting, and pushing me to work harder, do more and be better. Having faith. The friends and connections we have and gain through this journey usually become the scaffolding that helps us build our futures. I know to some degree that this video is a PR thing, celebrating a milestone for team TrustedSec but for some reason, it caught me off guard, touched me in the feels and truly inspired me. Things have been tough, and have been for a while. I think many of us have been going through challenges in our work and businesses. Today is not yesterday and things have changed. Many of us are having to try new things, pivot, or consider new ventures. Weathering this is tough, but with the right friends and relationships, anything is possible. TrustedSec (No, I am sadly not affiliated in any way, apart from being a fan) was a small handful of people betting it all on...green, grinding through tough times with doubters and family being worried about paying the bills, to a security powerhouse. Through all of this TrustedSec has remained engaged and supportive in the community, this community we all love and owe so much to. Congrats on 12 years, looking forward to seeing where you folks go in the next 12. David Kennedy, if you showed Dave this video 12 years ago....would you have believed it to be possible?
