Why I Joined The Analogies Project
“I noticed early on that many people tasked with compliance and security in many organizations find it difficult to identify threats and implement meaningful controls. I determined that it is the responsibility of people like myself to impart knowledge and help those with a need to reach those goals. The more informed the average user is about security practices, the more secure our internet will be. Security is not just your healthcare provider’s, or your employer’s, or your parent’s responsibility — Security is everyone’s responsibility.”
