People Still Matter In Cybersecurity Management
DARKReading, Friday, September 29,2023
Cybersecurity's constant stream of shiny new things shouldn't distract managers from their focus on the people they're protecting.
In the run-up to the 1992 US presidential election, Bill Clinton's campaign famously had a large sign reading "It's the economy, stupid" in their headquarters. It was a constant reminder of its most important message. As we head into the fourth quarter of 2023, I think a lot of CISOs would benefit from a similar sign reading "It's the people, stupid" posted in their conference room.
The articles wrapping up 2023 and looking forward to 2024 are yet to come (including some from me), but it's safe to say that 2023 has been a year of great distractions as war, new malware campaigns, industry mergers, and generative AI have each demanded their share of executive attention. It's important, though, that these developments do not distract executives from the human beings that attack, use, and defend their enterprise infrastructure.
