Why Am I Working Harder During This Pandemic?
This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Why Am I Working Harder During This Pandemic?
is hosted by me, David Spark, producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Chris Zell, vp, head of IT security, The Wendys Company. All three of us discussed:
There's many reasons security professionals are working harder now.
Work from home has created a larger surface area to protect. At home distractions make it harder to get through the workday. We're not taking vacations maybe because heck there's nowhere that's not impacted by the pandemic. And we're not commuting so we're using that time to work harder.
Welcome those new entrants into the security community.
Our guest suggests keeping an eye out for anyone who publicly announces they're an "aspiring cybersecurity professional." If you see that, take the proactive stance and welcome them and offer some help and guidance.
Layoffs don't need to be adversarial.
If a company shows compassion and offers corporate services to help the person find the next job that can be helpful. Regardless, don't look at a layoff to go DefCon 1.

When I posted my article, "25 API Security Tips You're Probably Not Considering," I asked the community, what did I miss, and what would should I have doubled-down on or maybe not mention at all.
Thankfully, you responded with some great advice. So this video is collection of my favorite comments, some critical, of that very article.
Huge thanks to our sponsor, Salt Security.
