I just started my first official cybersecurity position at a medium size company in an industry that is currently being heavily targeted with ransomware.

I'm starting pretty much from scratch as they have not had a dedicated security role in over a year and my predecessor didn't make much progress. So far i've been focused on inventory lists, policies, and procedures for hardware, software, and data. I think we're doing okay with minimizing stuff thats internet facing and patching is in a good place (well, at least with the devices and os's that are still supported).

Any suggestions on where to go from there or what to prioritize?

I'm studying for CCSP right now. It's fairly general and tries to be vendor neutral but Architecture is one of the knowledge domains on the exam. Might be worth it if you meet the work requirements or experience waiver requirements.

A lot of people also seem to conflate it with the CISSP when it comes up in conversation I've noticed.

Curation is my answer. Return to the old ways of curating your own lists of resources and sharing them with other people. Web rings, blog rolls, link sharing, RSS

I swear by ddrescue. It's a situation I strive to never be but i've been there before. I used it once to rescue an employees masters capstone project from their dead work laptop.

As someone in the thick of it, it has been a nervewracking quarter for mortgage company IT and Infosec teams. There have been several very high profile breaches the last few months.

Oh I highly recommend it. As a kid I read a lot of his work and my favorites were the Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-tale Heart. I still love those ones but I feel like I can appreciate the poetry and other stories now.

Another series I've gotten a lot of mileage out of revisiting was Calvin and Hobbes funny enough.

Oh nice, have you read any of his other books? I keep meaning to get around to reading Bullshit Jobs.

The shuttle SRB's were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.

And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.

You're not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn't compare to what SpaceX does now.
