7MS #362: My Dear Friend Impostor Syndrome

This episode is brought to you by ITProTV. Visit https://www.itpro.tv/7minsec for over 65 hours of IT training for free!

Today I take a walk (literally!), get chased by a dog (seriously!) and talk about impostor syndrome and feelings of self-loathing and doubt as I get ready to speak at Secure360 next week (insert wah-wah-waaaaaaahhhhhhh here).

How do you deal with impostor syndrome? Personally, I'm finding some success in squashing it by forcing myself into situations where I feel like a fraud - over and over again! Over time, I feel slightly less like a sham and a bit more like I know what I'm talking about. Specifically, in this episode I talk about:

  • The thrill of getting a presentation accepted at a conference, and the dread and fear that follows
  • The awful nightmare I have the night before I speak in front of others
  • Shaking off nerves when your talk is accompanied by a sign language interpreter
  • Finding your "voice" and getting the confidence to share/present your knowledge in a way only you can

I also share the outline to my "So You Wanna Start a Security Company?" talk, which includes:

  • What are the telltale signs that you should start a security company?
  • How do you find business when everybody and their mom seems to have a security offering?
  • What are some of the tools/services/people that can help your business succeed?

7MS #92: You're Not Ready for Big Boy Security Pants

Sometimes I get in situations where clients want their WHOLE security program reviewed, but in reality, they are still in the baby steps phase. What's the right thing to do when, for lack of a better term, the client isn't ready to put on their security big boy points?

Today we're talking about a new (to me) Web site/app scanning tool called AppSpider by Rapid7. Again, this isn't a commercial or paid advertisement. I just like sharing things that I like and use.

This episode's about a cool security app called GlassWire, which is (kind of) a firewall on steroids. I love it! Oh, and this is not an endorsement or a commercial :-)
