Talking Us Off the Ledge: Build credibility and avoid burnout in your Infosec career

This presentation will advise on adopting an approach in working with your business that avoids certain negative stereotypes and charged conversations that over time will damage your credibility and effectiveness as an information security professional. In a highly specialized field with its own taxonomy Information Security draws in some very bright people who enjoy learning and applying subject matter expertise within their business environment. In contrast, the development need which often goes unmet is the need to develop one’s self-awareness to adjust the application of one’s subject matter expertise to the business situation in an appropriate manner. There will be information from research by David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, presented as food for thought.

Key learning points:
  • What are the negative stereotypes and behaviors?
  • What is the reality of the career we have chosen?
  • What is the opportunity for development?
  • How do we demonstrate alignment with the business and strive to understand corporate culture to achieve success?
