If you are not spending as much time, money, and effort in detection and response as you are prevention/protection, you are not running an effective program. And if your security budget is not enough (whose is?) then you should be putting even more % into D&R.

Always and forever this. If you don’t have a system, if you get buried in busy work, if you’re always firefighting - start here and use it consistently.

Hear, hear. Structures that equate leadership and level of contribution with people management are outdated and increasingly ineffective. Individual contributors are essential to high quality outcomes and career tracks should be purposefully built to develop and empower.

Why do we have to “manage people” to be “successful”?! Be an GREAT ENGINEER instead of a MEDIOCRE MANAGER This career paradigm is broken I’ve managed ppl. You could’ve awarded me “best ppl mgr ever” but I don’t WANT to manage people. I’m great and happy where I am as an IC

1. If you remained an individual contributor (IC) beyond the approx age of 35, you have inevitably set yourself up for a lot of challenges as you move up in your field. That's because very few companies see designers as molders of strategy.

The fact that it isn't a major continuing scandal in the news every day that criminals located in adversary safe havens feel free--with either the acquiescence or actual encouragement of their authoritarian gov protectors--to target our hospitals is itself appalling.
