How To Become A Mentor In Your Career Field
Becoming a mentor doesn’t just help others. It enables you to enhance your professional development too. That is because it is a mutually beneficial partnership that helps both parties involved, i.e., the mentor and mentee.
If you are looking to become a mentor, you are in the right place. Here are the top tips that will help you in how to become a mentor in your career field.
1. Find A Mentee
You can use your organization or professional network to find a mentee. However, many of the best mentoring relationships develop organically without you having to try. If you feel there is a junior in your organization that you offer advice to, you can always become their mentee.

Once you have found a mentee in your organization, it is time to set expectations. That is because establishing guidelines help maintain a good working relationship. Your mentee will know what you expect and vice versa. Continue reading

6 New Ways to Validate Device Posture
Cloudflare for Teams gives your organization the ability to build rules that determine who can reach specified resources. When we first launched, those rules primarily relied on identity. This helped our customers replace their private networks with a model that evaluated every request for who was connecting, but this lacked consideration for how they were connecting.
In March, we began to change that. We announced new integrations that give you the ability to create rules that consider the device as well. Starting today, we’re excited to share that you can now build additional rules that consider several different factors about the device, like its OS, patch status, and domain join or disk encryption status. This has become increasingly important over the last year as more and more people began connecting from home. Powered by the Cloudflare WARP agent, your team now has control over more health factors about the devices that connect to your applications.

With Cloudflare for Teams, administrators can replace their Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), where users on the network were trusted, with an alternative that does not trust any connection by default—also known as a Zero Trust model.
