Join Blumira on r/cybersecurity for a Reddit AMA

We will be hosting an AMA on Reddit’s r/cybersecurity from October 18-22, where you can ask our security experts anything. 

Join our SecOps team on Reddit to ask questions about threat hunting, blue teaming, Microsoft vulnerabilities, or really anything cybersecurity-related. 

What is Reddit and r/cybersecurity? 

Dubbed “the front page of the internet,” Reddit is a social forum in which users can discuss, interact and ask questions with other users. Reddit is divided into hundreds of interest-based communities called subreddits, one of which is r/cybersecurity.

With nearly 300,000 members, r/cybersecurity is a community for current or aspiring technical professionals to discuss cybersecurity, threats and more. 

Our security team isn’t new to Reddit; from the Blumira account, they’ve posted valuable advice related to: 

• CVE 2021-40444
• PetitPotam
• HiveNightmare  

What is an AMA? 

AMA is short for Ask Me Anything, a question-and-answer session that is conducted in real-time on a Reddit forum. For security-related examples, see Black Hills Infosec’s John Strand’s AMA on r/cybersecurity.
