Mind Over Cyber

Stress is a slow burn, often masked or obscured, until it’s a moment of crisis. In #cybersecurity, the daily stresses can lead to coping mechanisms, bad “habits” that can quickly transform into addictions. Executive Director George Kamide spoke to Deb Radcliff at CSO Online: “We must start thinking about people and culture. CISOs need a healthy way to reduce the noise, the screaming in the back of their minds.” https://lnkd.in/e5q9FbRN

Valuable new paper is out on the value of creating safe and just cultures for better risk reporting 👇

The team is out in the field this week! Community Director Carlos Guerrero will join our partners at Office Meet Yoga at the CISO XC Executive Level Conference to host a live #mindfulness workshop for all attendees. This workshop is focused on #IncidentResponse: exercises to do proactively to build mental resilience and exercises teams can to re-center toward calm during high-stress moments. Executive Director George Kamide will be at SecureWorld Denver to moderate a panel discussion on building resilient teams by focusing on mental-wellbeing. Thank you to both organizations for sponsoring this work!

Next week! Executive Director George Kamide is moderating a panel at SecureWorld Denver, don't miss it! The discussion will be building #infosec teams and workplace cultures that prioritize mental wellbeing for greater resilience. The risks and the attacks won't stop.
