10:00am - 10:30amApplying Info Sec Expertise in Leadership & Management: Value of Universal PrinciplesSpeaker: Richard Feingold, Co-founder and Business Manager, Creative Health SolutionsAbstract:
Through the last several decades we’ve faced profound and unrelenting information security challenges: problems whose solutions require understanding multiple technologies, a vast threat terrain, and disparate business requirements.
Information Security Professionals must master a broad and deep body of knowledge that can be applied to meet challenges in other areas.
From that body of knowledge we select principles that hold true across different domains. We extend them to other challenges showing how they facilitate and enable organization creation, leadership, and operation.
We demonstrate how we used those principles to create and operate a successful clinic. We then circle back to see how the lessons learned in the clinic enhances our understanding of the universal principles and how they might relate to the information security domain.
