The Cyber Security Leadership Challenge

Cyber security doesn’t have a management challenge. It has a leadership challenge. 

The indicators are obvious.

Programs tend to have unhappy people and an executive team overloaded with process but short on continual positive change, communications about future direction, and the resources needed to effect that change. 

If you believe like me that leaders create positive change by influencing people and managers maintain processes and resources, then most signs point to a widespread leadership issue in cyber security.

Many cybersecurity managers but a dearth of leaders. 

Meanwhile, employees hunger for leadership. 

And keep moving on with their nomadic search for it.

But it’s an issue that can be fixed. 

A fix that starts with your voice, your vision, and your direction, regardless of your role,

Raise your hand and rise to the challenge.
