- When we are talking about cybersecurity
goes beyond technologies
because for you to make an impact in the organization
that you work, in the team that you work,
is not only about knowing cybersecurity per se,
not only about knowing the technology
but also understand how to navigate through the business.
What is the business need for cybersecurity?
How can you bridge the gap between what the CEO perceive
as security priority and the reality?
You have a really strong power in your hand
to bridge this gap.
Mainly if you come from a different area
because you have a broader vision about priorities
and all other things.
So take advantage of that,
make yourself familiar with the organizational structure,
understand who you need to touch,
what are the different departments of the company,
who you need to start making partnerships,
who you can influence.
Having the power to influence people is very important.
You need to start making these connections with the team
and you need to sell secure as a enabler and not a blocker
which is also something that a lot of companies
when they talk about security, they immediately think,
"Well this is gonna make it harder for me to do my work."
You have to break this concept
and sell the idea that security is a enabler.
Be a influencer within the company that you work for.
That's very important.
You need to be a secure advocate to advocate everyone,
to show your advantage,
to show the importance of cybersecurity,
to show the importance of staying secure.
So be a extremely advocate, enthusiastic about the topic,
and, of course, enabling.
Always think about how can I enable you
to do your job better in a secure manner?
