#infosec creates shadow IT when it prevents users from getting business done. Security governance needs to align to business, not vice-versa

[Dan Jacobs @Dan_at_State]

Have been waiting a long time to see this trend emerge in #infosec and #cybersecurity circles. Thankful for it: https://t.co/P6AwSH98Cr

At the @SMCISO Lunch and Learn, getting a demo from @ekahau on their awesome WiFi tools. Good stuff for the #infosec and #CISO community.

[Dan Jacobs @Dan_at_State]

@OSVDB raises important questions about the @verizon DBIR. #cybersecurity and #infosec pro's should pay attention. https://t.co/9uIIfIcgLV

#CISO take note: If your #infosec policies treats users like they are the enemy, don't be surprised when they act the part.

[Dan Jacobs @Dan_at_State]

MS pitching their services aside, there is really good trending info to help the #CISO and #CIO crowd. https://t.co/HebE0xtcrK

I like how this cat thinks. Well worth the read for #CISO and #cybersecurity folks. https://t.co/2B3Ro7b5rz

The thing about #infosec is: it doesn't work when corporate culture actively ignores the threat. Basic stuff... https://t.co/jS8jQ7b6wx
