Keynote
12 Laws of Power in IT Security
Stephen Northcutt, President, SANS Technology Institute
Sunday, September 23
7pm - 9pm
Whether you want to be the next CEO or don't want to be a manager at all, every employee wants to be treasured and doesn't want to be pushed around. Stephen Northcutt, CEO, prolific non-fiction writer, SANS Instructor and Security Thought Leader presents the following 12 laws:
- Skill — they can't easily fire you if you are the best
- Language — never speak to management in hex
- The edge — at any given time know what the best selling security book is and memorize it
- Delegation — if you help people learn what you know, they will help you get the work done
- Bet on people and bet large
- Options — be flexible; as long as you have oxygen, power, water and propellant you have options
- Make sure your paycheck is tied to revenue, somehow, someway
- Plan ahead, avoid unplanned requests for funding, SANS or other resources
- Be positive — people cannot stand whining, negative people so don't be one
- Teaming/Networking — no matter how smart you are, someone else knows things you do not
- Push back — if you are following the first ten laws, then don't let them get away with trying to push you around
- Take your shot — when opportunity knocks, be prepared to take advantage of the moment
