Despite implementing positive behaviors and striving for inclusivity in the boardroom, challenges persist due to various issues such as digital transformation, cybersecurity, and declining ethical standards. Addressing these challenges demands a diverse range of perspectives, including individuals who are resilient, innovative, and willing to confront these larger, transformative issues head-on. To effectively navigate these challenges, focus on assembling a team with diverse expertise and perspectives, empowering them to tackle complex issues with creativity and resilience. Additionally, fostering a culture of open dialogue and continuous learning will be crucial for adapting to evolving challenges in the corporate landscape.

In the IT industry, challenges are a given... Whether it’s a sudden system failure, a security compromise, or the need to integrate new technology on a tight deadline. But how you approach these challenges is what sets successful companies apart from the rest. Recently, R3 took on a new client and during onboarding, identified major vulnerabilities in their system. Here's what we did: → Quarantined rogue systems → Implemented long-term safeguards → Protected the organization from a looming zero-day threat At R3 LLC, we believe that the ability to think outside the box is invaluable. ✅ Think beyond obvious solutions. ✅ Leverage team knowledge for creative ideas. ✅ Solve problems in ways that prevent future issues. True leadership in IT means not just solving today’s problems but also creating a proactive strategy that safeguards against tomorrow’s threats.

Security culture should start at all points and meet in the middle; the top should direct and lead the culture’s growth. 

It feels good to be back into a role where I can have a direct change and impact the overall trajectory of a companies overall roadmap of success when it comes to their technology and cybersecurity program. For me the last 12 years have been great, I have learned so much, I have expanded my horizons in so many ways and have been able to provide for my family. However, for me all that left a lack of ownership that full time employment seems to fill like non other. Steve Jobs once said "I think that without owning something -- over an extended period of time, like a few years -- where you have the chance to take responsibility for your recommendations, where you have to see your recommendations through all action stages, and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes, and pick yourself up off the ground and dust yourself off, you learn a fraction of what you can. Coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results, not owning the implications, (provides) a fraction of the value and a fraction of the opportunity to learn to be better. Without the experience of actually doing it, you never get three-dimensional." I am looking forward to leading impactful change for many years Montage Marketing Group as their new Information Systems Security Officer I will be able to finally scratch that itch of ownership and take full pride in helping to grow & modernize this amazing organization.

What do CORE VALUES and CYBERSECURITY have in common for your product development team? They both require ongoing training, awareness, and substantiation. Here’s how we at Praxent have become a Best Place to Work in Fintech (multiple times) by maintaining a posture with our culture that’s as consequential as that of our cybersecurity. 1. Integrate Core Value TRAINING into ongoing rituals Your product development team is required to participate in ongoing cybersecurity training because you can’t rely on a one-and-done onboarding approach when it comes to something so critical. Core Values are no different. We take ~5-minutes in our weekly All-Hands to consider prepared content that bolsters our Core Values, blending external thought leadership and internal anecdotes. For example, in the months of May/June we accumulated skills from the book "Radical Candor" to help reinforce our "Never Settle" Core Value. 2. Create AWARENESS of your Core Value posture so that everyone can participate Every 4-6 weeks we transparently review our team sentiment scores — that includes the HIGH scores as well as the areas of our culture and Core Values that represent our biggest vulnerabilities. Our team understands that our Pulse Team Sentiment Score is just as important as our SOC2 certification. AND they understand that both require the entire company to participate to maintain compliance. By transparently engaging the team in these metrics, we create a culture of AWARENESS and COLLABORATION in ensuring our position is secure. 3. SUBSTANTIATE  your Core Values with awards and recognition Credentials and certifications help set the bar and maintain the standard — in cybersecurity, technical trades, and – of course – Core Values. Aspiring to a qualification and working towards it is one of the best ways to reinforce accountability. Our “Praxies” Awards is one of the more important ways that we reflect upon and ultimately validate what we truly value. This peer-nominated process takes place every 2-months (so that we have 6 “seasons” representing every Core Value) and ultimately allows us to substantiate what otherwise might be dismissed as a set of abstract concepts. I could talk about Core Values all day — in fact, I’d love nothing more! Reach out to discuss further or let me know in the comments how your organization reinforces Core Values. #corevalues #remotework #softwaredevelopment #culture

As you advance in your career, the ability to communicate your value simply and clearly becomes crucial, especially with key stakeholders. If your vision is too complex, it won’t connect. True mastery comes from simplifying ideas, not adding complexity. This is particularly important in cybersecurity and threat hunting, where translating intricate technical details into clear, actionable insights is vital. When your message is easy to understand, it fosters better collaboration, drives alignment, and ensures your strategy resonates across the organization. #NewBeginning
