“Do not play adversary with your security organization, whether or not they are part of your group. At the end of the day, truly see that as your personal accountability and looking at it through the lens of the enterprise. That will ensure success. That will ensure the right tone from the top, down to through the organizations to ensure that everyone embraces that vigilance that is so needed to secure the company.” – Max Chan
