2020 has accelerated a few trends.
One—Remote/Hybrid working is here to last. Most companies are planning for it.
Two—Organizations are increasingly and relentlessly moving to the cloud and more distributed computing setups with wider adoption of Cloud-Native technologies.
Three—A Continuous flow of security exploits and incidents. This is not a new trend, but the rise of supply-chain attacks (Solarwinds) and other exploits is only going to make security operations harder without the right people.
The Security industry needs people will well-rounded skills in offensive and more importantly defensive and implementation security practices.
In this talk, I hope to highlight the key success factors in building and fostering an environment of continuous learning, autonomy, and deliberate practice, that companies can leverage, to build great security teams. I will detail approaches and anecdotes from my own experience that underscore these points.
