Editor's Notes
- #5: Over 70% of organizations fail to connect security to the business How can CISOs show value to their business organization in meaningful ways?
- #20: Humans are terrible at absolute estimation but quite good at relative estimationIt is generally faster - “What’s the use in being precise when you don’t even know what you’re talking about?”It gets a team thinking (and talking) as a group, rather than as individuals (group effort vs. individual person-hours)It encourages spending analysis time appropriately (analyzing and discussing)It is cost-effective
- #23: These are the types of metrics I will utilize to help you win
