About

Hi, I'm George McCauley.  I'm an IT Professional with 24+ years of experience turned Cyber Security Engineer.

I started my career with the Department of Defense back in 1997.  During my tenure there, I served as both a DoD Civilian and also as a Contractor.  I held many different IT roles there, mostly supporting Microsoft platforms and eventually specializing in Active Directory and Exchange.

In 2014, I finally left the DoD and started working at CPS Energy in San Antonio.  During my first almost 7 years, I did all things IT.  My focus was primarily Infrastructure, Virtualization, Active Directory, and Solutioning.

In 2021, I made the leap into Cyber Security.  It's been a fun ride so far and I've learned a ton.  My IT experience gives me a unique perspective of things.  I've been really getting into the offensive side of Cyber Security.

Hopefully, this blog will help some people and contribute to the community.  If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
