Speaking in the keynote session 'Rethinking Security Teams to Address the Skills Shortage & Secure the Business' at Infosecurity Europe 2018, panelists were united in agreement about having a blend of talent and diversity to build the best team.
Cory Scott, CISO of LinkedIn, said that if you only employ “tricksters” nothing will get fixed, and that is why you need to look for all types “and why diversity and narrative should be in your mindset. If they look like you and all have the same background and education you end up with a homogenous group of individuals who are not serving the business.”
Scott added that you want a collection of people with different narratives and different types of functions, but that “trickster” narrative was also important to understand how the next attack pivots, and you want an engineering wizard to solve problems at scale and not just do a manual review time and time again.
