Imposter Syndrome has been oft discussed in the context of gender or other minorities and mentoring, but these discussions have left out the greater truth – nearly everyone in the infosec community experiences this phenomenon. This talk is designed to approach the topic from a broader perspective. It will contain tips on not only overcoming this ourselves, but how to use this confidence to be a mentor and role model to others. This talk highlights the challenge current and emerging researchers encounter – feeling supported in pursuing a research path and speaking authoritatively when the cutting edge nature of infosec is counterproductive to building confidence in your own expertise. If we want to continue to be a research-focused community, we need to address some of the underlying issues that are contributing to the stagnation and drain of the brain trust.
