(55 minutes).
In order to make change and inspire behavior, we must build movements. And whether we like to believe it or not, what we’re doing in the security industry is building micro movements to influence a better world. The work of a Blue Teamer is very similar to that of someone looking to motivate and inspire change. As a Blue Teamer you must analyze existing systems, ensure security across sectors, conduct forensic investigations and most importantly - communicate to stakeholders on why they should not only care but fund and support the work that the Blue Team does.
This talk will cover:
* What it takes to inspire change and build movements
* How Blue Teamers sit at the heart of the cybersecurity industry
* How to leverage radical candor, compassion and communication skills to get buy in from key stakeholders on defense strategy

As a cybersecurity specialist of 10+ years with a focus on program compliance, third party risk management, and product mapping for Fortune 500 companies, Tazin has an acute understanding of transforming problems into product solutions and translating product benefits into the customer’s environment. This skill-set, paired with firsthand experiences of poverty, racial bias, gaslighting, and the all-too-common formalities that immigrant-American women in tech face, is what inspired her to educate people on the impact of their data and its effect on their real lives.
In 2019, Tazin mobilized her community and founded Cyber Collective in an effort to increase awareness of the importance of digital protection. Today, Cyber Collective is recognized by Forbes as “the only women of color owned and operated community-centered research organization that focuses on data ethics, privacy, and cybersecurity research.” Tazin and her team at Cyber Collective are dedicated to creating approachable and interactive content, workshops, and resource guides for people to educate themselves and learn freely about these topics.
