Leadership Philosophy
There are lots of "Security Experts" that say NO. I say "Let's solve this problem!"
The business must move forward. Well-planned security doesn't stop momentum—it protects it. Because 100% security is a myth, effective leadership is about managing risk to match the business’s risk appetite.
