Community-Led 💬 What's on the Minds of Early Adopters #2
Speed Matters, What we are Hearing & Friends & Family
I am excited to launch Community-Led...a curated cheat sheet for early adopters of technology products and the visionary founders who are building them every day. As a partner at Decibel, I engage with hundreds of customers and founders and am sharing the most interesting insights, feedback and quick wins with you.
Whether we are talking about software development, cybersecurity, or the increasing complexity of data and ML, the conversations, advising and feedback between the early stage founder and the enterprise software consumer is the core of our Decibel community!
What we are hearing from early adopters…
What’s on the minds of…CISOs?
Over the last few weeks it has been hard to ignore the industry wide impact of the Facebook, SolarWinds and Microsoft incidents affecting consumers as well as companies large and small. Whether you are in the trenches addressing these incidents or on the sidelines wondering “what if”, I find solace knowing that new, early stage startups are working to battle these ongoing security challenges.
The Decibel CISO Council recently tackled topics including vulnerability management (timely) and identity access management (a seemingly ubiquitous issue).
Leverage what went well during an industry-wide incident and connect it to a current project. “This is why we have to finish the zero trust transformation we are doing in this company.”
