Today’s highlight is the contribution from Adam Lee, Systems Security Director at Dominion Energy. Adam’s contribution to Can. Trust. Will.: Hiring for the Human Element in the New Age of Cybersecurity centers around how core values, corporate culture, and empowering your cybersecurity team correlate directly to how well systems are protected from compromise.

One of the things Adam told us was: “The threats evolve as fast or faster than your defenses. So every aspect from funding to staffing to what defenses are in place to why you are doing what you are doing is a constantly evolving puzzle. You cannot have staff that are inflexible... you cannot have a vision that is stagnant or that is fighting the last war... you have to be nimble and evolving while still doing everything you did before.” We agree!
