If you are a security professional, then whether you like it or not, you are in a position of sales and marketing. The challenge we face has always been deeper than figuring out what to do — we have to be able to effectively communicate that to our managers, our colleagues and our users/clients.
I just announced a new training program called “Speaking about Security” – and of course, I hope everyone wants to schedule me to work with your team. Eventually, we’ll even offer this as public training. That said, I am not the type to keep information and knowledge to myself.
I’ll start posting information for you to consider…
Let’s start with a marketing essential: Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins is a solid read (many would argue it’s a MUST read). The best part? It’s available on the Internet, for free: http://scientificadvertising.blogspot.com/
If you print this out, it’s about 40 pages long. Entirely worth the read. This will bring you closer to building the mindset to be a successful security 2.0 professional.
