I understand that business leaders need to have cybersecurity discussions with experts in a safe space where they don't feel pressure to be locked into an endless sales/marketing funnel and where they aren't made to feel stupid for what they don't know. That's why I'm offering my consultation to my network on a pro bono basis. If you're confident about your cybersecurity posture, I'll validate it and tell you you're doing a great job. If you have questions about potential gaps, we'll discuss it and identify areas for improvement with your IT team. If you know you're a HOT MESS, I'll gently hold your hand and show you it isn't as big of a task to get your digital house in order with the right execution.

In the field of cybersecurity, choosing between building long-term strategic partnerships versus going it alone can make all the difference. Going Solo: - You shoulder all responsibility and stress. - Your approach might be knowledge-based but lacks a consistent process. - You juggle all roles within your security structure. - May struggle to advance past basic security measures. Investing in Long-term Partnerships: - You achieve peace of mind and work-life balance. - Benefit from a consistent, well-structured process. - Can focus on other crucial areas of your business. - Capability to elevate your cybersecurity to strategic heights. If you find yourself struggling with cybersecurity hassles, share your experience below. I'm here to listen and offer some insights. #CyberSecurityPartnership #LongTermSupport #SoloCyberSecurity

There are a lot of factors at play here and the largest at play is the lack of business acumen in information technology professionals. This gap is essentially why I transitioned into #governance and risk focussed on #leadership rather than compliance. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach to solve.

This is exactly why I broke into this field [redacted] years ago. I wanted to keep myself safe and secure online, but it was *difficult.* The more I learned about how it all worked, the more I realized how significant the language barrier is between technologists and users. Throw businesses in, policymakers, and start accounting for all the different types of technologists (having a conversation about network resiliency with an #SRE vs an #infosec practitioner gets reeeeally interesting), and it gets messy. FAST. There are, too, all different incentives at play-- for individuals and organizations. I've become quite the polyglot over the years, if I do say so myself, and love working with people like Ross Haleliuk who understand that these problems (I mean, "opportunities") are as much about the **human** as they are about the tech. #cybersecurity #infosecurity #digitalsafety #communication

Nobody talks about shadow IT in cybersecurity - which means using a software or tool that's unsanctioned within organizations. It's like an outsider entering the organization without  consent. Now thay are likely to cause harm to the organization. (1/3rd of of successful cyber attacks happen because of shadow IT) 1. The fundamental step would be to educate the team with awareness on the risks of Shadow IT and empower them to make informed decisions. 2. Talk about benefits of eradication Shadow IT - reduced cybersecurity risks, improved compliance and a more efficient and integrated technology ecosystem. 3. At time there are certain reasons why professionals choose to use a Shadow IT system so find out the root cause of it. Employee interaction should be positive within the organization. Make the employees feel heard - they'll be more likely to report the use of external tools. How else do you think one can stop Shadow IT systems? #shahzanmulla #ciso #itsecurity #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #leadership #headofit

The hard fact: A cybersecurity loss or disruption event can start with anyone in a company at any level. The number of cyber attacks that start with a human being deceived or tricked has been north of 80% for almost a decade. But, HOW do you get your company and team members on board with #CyberAwareness program approaches changing to something that is more effective? Information Security workforce awareness programs need to be organizational culture initiatives that are run more like an ongoing internal marketing campaign than an IT tool and training platform roll-out.

Cybersecurity isn't just about protocols—it's a vibrant ecosystem fueled by awareness and collaboration! When employees are empowered with knowledge about threats and their vital role in protection, they become our frontline heroes. I'm constantly engaged in conversations emphasizing the power of open dialogue and collaboration. When employees feel empowered to share concerns and report suspicious activities without hesitation, we create an impenetrable fortress against cyber threats. But none of this is possible without strong #leadership leading the charge. That's why regular training sessions and workshops are non-negotiable. They keep everyone in the loop about the latest threats and best practices, fostering a culture where cybersecurity is a shared responsibility ingrained in our values and policies. My golden rule? Foster a #culture of cybersecurity where speaking up is encouraged, and incidents are swiftly dealt with. This proactive approach not only ensures rapid response but also upholds the trust of our cherished customers and stakeholders. Together, let's safeguard our organizations’ integrity and reputation! #CybersecurityCulture #ProtectingOurTeams #LeadingByExample #SecureTogether
