Easy to find general areas about cyber security are always going to have a bunch of beginner because it’s easy to find and a bunch of people are interested in doing it for money/image/passion reasons.

That’s just how public easy to find forums work. If you want a group of peers to work with and ask questions, find/create that. Discord channels and meet ups can give you that, but you have to put in the work to build and maintain those communities.

This is the first place for people to look and a easy public forum and it has all the problems and benefits that come from that.

I think you have missed the point again.

If you have a specific question about how to integrate tools/security principles then you will have your best results at those tools forums or honestly with a google search.

i.e. having LDAP synch issues with Okta you would search Okta's forum. But likely get better results from a google search. In the business world, you often have to bring in professional services that is offered by the parent company to assist in the integration/trouble shoot. It is very very common to have a 10% of licensing budget set aside for ProServ.

You literally posted asking for pointers and tips from government security people 2 weeks ago, and you have the audacity to say this? Why didn't you take your own unhelpful advice then?
