Many years ago, I fielded a survey focused on the culture of cybersecurity. One of the questions asked what initially drew folks to cybersecurity as a career. The most common response was a deep sense of curiosity. Throughout my career, I noticed another major factor in folks that brought a lot of value to security teams: diversity.
Diversity of people, diversity of background, and diversity of experience. I've seen auto mechanics, biologists, and finance experts bring the most interesting insights and forehead-slapping observations to the table. I think part of the reason diversity is so necessary is that security itself is incredibly broad. It covers everything that technology, processes, and people touch. As such, cybersecurity workers need to have a similarly broad skillsets and background.
Today, we talk to someone that embodies both this non-typical cybersecurity background and sense of curiosity - Clea Ostendorf. We'll discuss:

Defenders spend a lot of time and money procuring and implementing security controls. At the heart of SecOps and the SOC are technologies like XDR, SIEM, and SOAR. How do we know these technologies are going to detect or prevent attacks?
Wait for the annual pen test? Probably not a good idea.
In this segment, we'll talk with Michael Mumcuoglu about how MITRE's ATT&CK framework can help defenders better prepare for inevitable attack TTPs they'll have knocking on their doors.
