Need a new leadership style? Line up the contenders

Everything you know about leadership is wrong. OK, not everything, but eventually something will displace the current leadership orthodoxy. In the next few decades, if not years, a new theory is bound to upend our current notions of what makes a great leader and how one is developed. What makes me so sure?

Online security job leads

Security job seekers have many ways to find job leads. Peer networks and social media are potential resources, especially for those who still think the best jobs are not in the public domain.

When solution providers host industry conferences

People often ask me which security conferences they should attend, exhibit at, or present at. Of course, the answer depends on their objectives, role in the industry/profession, areas of interest, budget, location, personal style, vertical market and numerous other factors. Great conferences might have 30 attendees or 30,000. They could be buzzing with drones and robots, or they can be confined to sterile classrooms. Extracurricular events could be a rager at House of Blues or…

Learning to say no in your security career

Security has the reputation of being the “Department of ‘No.’” No, that risk is too great. No, we can’t take the chance. No, the likelihood of failure is too high.
