Building a Cybersecurity Work Culture
Building a cybersecurity work culture in the age of distributed workplaces is imperative. It can also be challenging, especially when factoring in resource constraints. Fortunately, three experts were on hand to address this topic through a Q&A during the 2023 Open Source Security Summit.
Moderating the Q&A was Leigh Honeywell, Co-Founder and CEO of Tall Poppy, a company specializing in personal and executive cybersecurity for banks, movie studios and organizations who have to deal with internet harassment.
Honeywell was joined by Henry Fisher, digital rights activist and founder of Techlore. Fisher is also a runner, artist, musician, book nerd, and privacy advocate. He also co-hosts the Surveillance Report weekly newscast.
Rounding out the panel was Phillip Kampmann, Software Engineer III at AccuRanker. Phillip is the lead developer behind AccuRanker’s Secret Service, which handles secrets through the Bitwarden Secrets Manager.
Leigh Honeywell: When I was at Slack, our new hire security training was the second training that every new employee attended. Basically, you got your laptop, you received an onboarding welcome from one of the executives, and then you went straight into security training. I really appreciated receiving this right away because it made it clear this was an existential priority for the organization. I'm curious what strategies you have both found to be effective in terms of encouraging employee engagement around cybersecurity.
