New Year, Same Challenges

2024 will present many of the same challenges that we saw in 2023, 2022, and so on. There will definitely be some new conversations to discuss and debate, like whether or not AI be our greatest weapon, or greatest threat?

[Part 1] Building Process in Cybersecurity

We wanted to explore a tactical approach to execution in cybersecurity using one of our favorite and trusted frameworks from the book Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath. It’s been influential in how we’ve developed our best practices based on first principles. We hope you enjoy the discussion and can take away something of value that you can apply in your security work.

How can your SOC move forward when your teams are moving in complete different directions. In this episode we are going to talk about how your team can find common ground and identify unifying objectives.
