The Importance of Culture in Security

Presented at BSidesLV 2019, Aug. 7, 2019, 10:30 a.m. (55 minutes)

Culture is a hot topic in today's business climate. Many books have been written on building a high performance culture, but few of them take in to account the special nature of security organizations. Building on 20 years of experience managing high performing security teams, Mike will examine the nuances to build a culture that enables you to recruit and retain talent within security. Additionally, he'll focus on how to identify what kind of culture you're in, ways to impact culture even if you're not formally in a management role, and tactics for how to make the kind of culture that makes you and your team excited to come to work every day.
