"In security, there is no 'that's not my job.' When it comes to defending the organization, security practitioners need to be able to put their egos aside, roll up their sleeves, and do what the team needs them to do to make sure the security posture of the organization continues to improve."

Whether you're looking to hire a good security practitioner, or trying to become one, there are certain attitudes and mindsets to look out for. Tune in this week as Jen Stone (MCIS, CISSP, CISA, QSA) and Joshua Goldfarb (Director of Product Management at F5) dive into his recent article - How to Spot an Effective Security Practitioner.

A note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry. Security shouldn't be a secret club.
