Cybersecurity Realities
Cybersecurity is a challenging field that requires a blend of technical know-how, strategic planning, and continuous education. True professionals understand that while preventing breaches entirely is ideal, it is often unrealistic. Instead, the focus should be on building resilience, responding effectively to incidents, and continuously improving defenses. The loudest voices in the room are not always the most informed or qualified, and some organizations that claim to have broad reach, wide-ranging membership, or significant influence are actually composed of only a couple of founders seeking to enhance their own credibility. We need to be discerning about whom we trust and what information we accept as credible. We must distinguish between self-proclaimed experts, armchair critics, and keyboard warriors, and those who are genuinely in the trenches, addressing real-world challenges.
