Your company's reputation is tarnished by a data breach. How will you rebuild trust with customers?
So many people have said, first and foremost, transparency. And that is true across the board. Rebuilding Trust is all about: 1 - Acknowledging first and foremost what you DO and what you DO NOT know about what happened and how it happened. 2 - Recognize and balance that the impact and concerns will be different for all your stakeholders: Staff, Clients, Shareholders, Partners, Community, and other Stakeholders. 3 - Make fair and honest reparations. 4 - Be clear about remediation plans and give legitimate reassurance of measures being taken to avoid a repeat. 5 - DO NOT blame and offer up a "sacrificial lamb" - seek only legitimate accountability. 6 - Your reputation may be healed or harmed by the WAY in which you respond and communicate.

An employee is drowning in phishing emails. How do you help them stay afloat?
Spot on Chase! It bewilders me how after ALL these years, this seems to be illusive. Spanish is my second language and I’m pretty fluent - yet nuanced grammar errors would elude me. For how many people in tech, let alone any other field, is English a second or even third language?… yet we think the solution is to train the check out of people to spot fishing??? In this wonderful world of AI - surely we can train the machine to be at least as - if not more - effective as the human? #cybersecurity #failedmodels

You're facing resistance to operational changes. How can you overcome employee pushback effectively?
“Engage early” is not the same as “communicate early.” Yes, sharing the vision and the value proposition early is key, but this in of itself is not truly “engaging” employees. Engaging them is to solicit feedback, input, perspective and ideas. Even if the ideas are not fully baked or even workable being heard is critical to success. Behind that, expect to LEARN during the engagement - it may well change part of the plan or the approach. Nothing drives success more than employees feeling that they have not only been heard, but are part of the solution and have contributed to the strategy. Of course, there are some decisions and calls that have to be made that may not be popular or fully understood, but actual engagement drives success.

Here's how you can craft a compelling resume after a layoff.
During my career, I built a global organization from 650 to 1,843 people across 60+ countries. One key lesson I learned is that ineffective managers never lay themselves off. They often fail to recognize true talent, feel threatened by it, or focus solely on cost. This leads to poor layoff decisions and ultimately mediocre teams. I made it a priority to reposition such managers. If you've been laid off and know you excel at your job, remind yourself of your worth daily. Don't dwell on the injustice. Instead, focus on the unique value you bring and the success you drive. Your skills and contributions are your greatest assets.

A plain-language tutorial on the most important security technology for Internet applications With major efforts underway to standardize a successful public key infrastructure (PKI) system, there is a growing need among network and security managers for authoritative information on PKI technology. This book offers a plain-language tutorial for people with limited technical background but with acute business need to understand how PKI works. Written by a widely recognized expert in the field, Public Key Infrastructure Essentials explains how a successful PKI system can provide both security and privacy for Web-based applications through assigning encrypted keys to individuals or documents. Readers will find extensive business case studies and learn how to qualify vendors, write a Certification Practice Statement (CPS), build directories, and implement mechanisms for issuing, accepting, and revoking digital certificates.
