'Building a Diverse SecOps team - Advice for Organisations.' with Lianne Potter
Part two of my chat with Lianne Potter, Head of SecOps at ASDA, includes a deep dive into how to build a diverse and inclusive SecOps team, regardless of the size of company or industry.
We also have a very honest discussion around why diversity matters in technology.
Lianne delivers talks across the globe and is regularly published in industry publications to share her vision for a new type of holistic security function. Drawing upon her expertise as a cyber-anthropologist (through her consultancy, The Anthrosecurist), her practical experience as a security-focused software developer and in her current role as the head of Security Operations for a major UK supermarket retailer; Lianne combines the human and the technical aspects of security to evangelise a cultural security transformation.
Outside of work she is on the advisory board for a community enterprise aimed at encouraging diversity in tech and is a published author, Improv performer and podcast host.
In 2021 she won three awards: Security Leader of the Year, Woman of the Year in the Enterprise category, and Computing.com’s Security Specialist of the Year for her work on human-centric approaches to security. In 2023 she won ‘Cyber Personality of the Year’ in The Real Cyber Awards.
You can listen to Lianne talk about her human-centric approach to cybersecurity every Thursday on her podcast “Compromising Positions”, in which she interviews non-cybersecurity people from the world of anthropology, psychology and behavioural science about cybersecurity culture.
