What’s a great approach from a security vendor?...

"I think the best approach is when a vendor tells me what problem they're going to solve and how that's going to reduce risk instead of telling me about the characteristics of the product." --Saša Zdjelar, svp, security assurance, Salesforce

Overheard on Defense in Depth 

"Regardless of the size of your organization and the basic things that you should get done first, I would call these the fundamentals, or sort of table stakes when it comes to your program. And this is a great way to go because you can sort of justify why this versus that, why do we have to have a password policy, why do we have to have 2FA. Well, great, now you don’t have to have that argument and justify it based on your depth of experience as a security person. It just makes the job much easier, and it’s a great place to start and prioritize both budget and resources." --Geoff Belknap, CISO, LinkedIn
