Session 3: Getting what you want to check the boxes that you need
Abstract: Building a connection that conversation can flow through is not always easy. Especially when cybersecurity teams that you are tasked with obtaining information from are inherently distrusting and leery of having their processes audited. I have had thousands of conversations and spent thousands of hours conversing with cybersecurity teams through business dealings, problem solving, live streaming, social media outreach, volunteering, mentoring and friendship. Through my experience I have come to deeply understand the apprehension felt by these professionals when it comes to sharing their processes with outsiders and will offer some conversational ways to break down the barriers. Cybersecurity teams should come to see auditors as allies not as adversaries.
