Hello, my name is Tyler. I go by dimed on the internet. I am the CEO and Founder of Cyber NOW®, and I have been in Cybersecurity for almost 25 years. I have led Fortune 20 companies as a top technical person and a principal architect. I have many accolades, including writing Jump-start Your SOC Analyst Career, available anywhere books are sold. I've written hundreds of professional articles. I have a wife, Heidi, and a son, Elliott. Elliott has high-functioning autism, and he is different. The kid is very mischievous and reminds me of me growing up. That is how I got into cybersecurity, by being a mischievous hacker kid. And he's incredibly curious, too, just like me. He is fascinated by how things tick like most autistic people, but he is high-functioning enough that I think he'll do well in fields like robotics. As a father, I'm trying my best to plot his career =). Just want the boy to be independent. Anyway, I'm rambling. Thanks for stopping by!

Why Tyler's Been Quiet
Grand Risings to all of my 127,000+ email subscribers and the list kept growing every single day that I have been away. I created a brand that is fun, authentic to culture, and quality cybersecurity training at prices that are accessible to everyone. I'd like to say I am a rich man now from all of my members, but that's not true nor was it my intention. I worked every single second from the time I rose to the time I went to bed. I enjoy it but it is a grind. So where have I been at for the...
