Security thought leadership

Security Thought Leadership involves actively researching, understanding and analyzing key issues and challenges facing the information security industry and then using that knowledge to develop and share actionable insights and innovative ideas with peers.

A security thought leader is an individual who is not self-pronounced but fully recognized by others in the information security industry as someone who understands not only his/her own business, but has deep insight into the broader information security marketplace as well as the current and future needs of customers.

Security thought leaders form and communicate a clear vision of the industry’s future based on keen understanding of all aspects of the information security field—including data integrity, data availability, confidentiality, privacy, non-repudiation and risk management—in conjunction with other existing and emerging technologies and the evolving concerns of customers.

Security thought leaders are widely known for being generous and selfless with their time and knowledge. They can be found leading change organizations; keynoting conferences; participating in industry roundtable discussions; authoring white papers, case studies and op-ed columns; providing subject-matter expertise to members of the press; and testifying before government committees.
