<ul>
<li><b>What inspired you to pursue a career in cybersecurity, and how has your
journey shaped your perspective on the field ?</b></li>
I was a curious 14 year old with preference for math and algebra, wanted to
understand how computers work and was good at asking blunt questions. But I
don't think that would be sufficient today anymore. Curiosity is still a great
internal motivation highly necessary for cybersecurity and I am glad my talent
for asking blunt questions is still appreciated, but what I learned the most
was building understanding and compassion. I see now "not judging what you see"
as the most important habit, and focusing on the actual goal you want to
achieve and including perspectives of all relevant parties when building
solutions.
<p>
<li><b>Your keynote touches on the challenges of burnout in infosec. What
practical advice do you have for professionals to maintain their well-being
?</b></li>
Become clear on who you live and work for, who do you try to impress and why,
and be honest in what is actually bringing you joy. And do get enough fresh air
and sunshine, life is not to achieve, but to live. Only when you can enjoy the
small moments, you can truly sustain the high demand this field can take.
<p>
<li><b>How can organizations better support their security teams in managing
high-pressure situations ?</b></li>
Understanding the specific skills that are needed for our roles and building
teams, that truly compliment each other. Not everyone needs to be the reversing
pro, sometimes you for example need people who are really good at writing and
translating what is done. Building teams and organisational structures that can
fill the natural cybersecurity nerd gaps is essential.
<p>
<li><b>What advice would you give to women and underrepresented groups entering
cybersecurity today ?</b></li>
My first lesson was to understand, that nothing is personal and every person
can only see in you, what they are capable of seeing. Focus on yourself, why
you follow your goals and what you can learn from every challenge that is put
into your path. By focusing on solutions you won't waste energy by letting
yourself be weighted down and you build a discipline that no one can take away
from you. Focus on who and what is good and supports you, and finally: you only
need to make yourself happy.
