InfoSec Parenting

As our children grow, their curiosity and understanding of the world grow with them. When our children come of age, they question everything we do and no longer accept "no" as an answer. Much like our children, our business partners are also growing. Today's typical employee is exposed to technology at home and at work. Gone are the days when employees have no knowledge of technology. And, because of this, the business no longer accepts "no" as an answer when it relates to security issues. This opportunity means that we must correctly access the risk of security gaps and communicate this risk to the business in means they will understand. Doing so will help us forge a better relationship with our business partners, serve their needs better, and provide better security for our organizations.
