If there is one myth that you could debunk in cybersecurity, what would it be?
“Security is hard!” That would be the myth I would like to debunk. I look at security as an ongoing, evolving challenge that anyone can participate in. To start debunking this myth, I believe that, as security practitioners, we need to be explicit with our language and ensure that we are collectively speaking and using the same terminology. One of my personal goals is to reduce the barrier to entry when it comes to security and how it is explained to people. Security is a complex problem that contains many components, and there is something for everyone. We should be open to helping and teaching all.
