Literal Cybersecurity Rockstars

12th January, 2020 · JavaDevelop

Here’s something you don’t often hear of someone in the role of CSO/CISO do; coordinate a concert for the entire company, made up solely of employee musicians, from locations across the globe, and perform for their peers in full rock star fashion at the company’s annual kick-off. But, that is exactly what happened earlier this month.

The idea to take my background in music performance (dates back well before my tech and infosec days), and find a unique way to bring people together from all across the company (infosec, engineering, sales, marketing, it, customer success, ux, and consulting), and then bring the whole company together to be part of a grand performance….well, the post from Jennifer Gregorio below is an example of how we demonstrate our core values (Impact Together, Bring You, Challenge Convention) at Rapid7. #rapid7 #ciso #cso #infosec #rockstars

Take a chance on someone….this week.

12th January, 2020 · JavaDevelop

Take a chance on someone….this week.

23 years ago, this week, someone took a chance on me, offering me my first professional job on a help desk, supporting UNIX and mainframe systems, and tracking my work on a Windows 3.1 desktop with Lotus Notes. At that time, I couldn’t spell UNIX, nor had any clue what a Lotus Note was. But, someone took a chance on me, and I’m forever grateful.

Fast forward to 2006, I had worked in IT, software and web development, and some experience in professional services…not much in the InfoSec space. Someone took a chance on me again, hiring me to kick-start professional services of a start-up InfoSec product company. I remember starting the job thinking, “What is compliance?”

I’m thankful to those who took chances on me, and always looking for a chance to pay it forward. #infosec #cso #leadership
