Leadership & Management

Writing the future history of security research

It’s tempting to file the term “security research” with the likes of “jumbo shrimp” and “somewhat unique” under the heading of oxymorons. Compared to such business disciplines as law, economics, marketing, engineering, data science — and, now, even cybersecurity — business and corporate security lag behind.

Certifications and the security leader

June 1, 2021

Security professionals seeking to advance their careers often ask me whether certifications are worth it, and, if so, which ones they should pursue. The answer, of course, depends on the person and his or her goals. Plenty of people excel without a credential.

Humor in leadership? Funny you should ask

Sometimes it’s better to disarm than to arm. Put another way, humor can be both a powerful leadership and tactical tool for security.

Don’t touch that clicker! Part II

February 1, 2021
Lessons are best learned when we don’t expect them. That’s why television ads can have a profound impact.
