What are the biggest mistakes in cybersecurity?
biggest mistake I ever made in security. Go.
I may have accidentally once left a OMG cable at a security conference that I was demonstrating with and I forgot to put it in my bag and I left it around. So there's probably somebody now charging their phone with an OMG cable. So I'm sorry.

The key to building a company culture that can handle risk effectively is daily practice, not annual slides. argued Maman Ibrahim and Gabriel Schneider in a CSO online piece. An effective risk culture should be based around four questions. Do people notice risk early? Do they name it clearly? Do they know who can decide? Do they act without fear? The key is that the conversation about risk is commonplace, even when risk signals are weak. I'm going to start with you, Michelle, on this one. How do you have conversations about risk with your team? And more importantly, how do they bring it up with you?
I'm actually talking about risk almost all the time with my team. There's very rare occasions that I have a conversation with anyone that I work with that risk doesn't come into play. So I'd say that they're tired of hearing me talk about risk, but they definitely know that it's one of the things I'm most interested in. They do tend to bring it to me.
How do they bring it to you? Like, give me an example of something you would get.
Last week I got one. We had a developer that noticed that they didn't follow some certain process and wanted to make sure we had it on our risk register and we're tracking it to complete.
All right. That's a good way of putting it. All right. Rob, you deal with risk. ThreatLocker deals with risk. How do you discuss it with your team and how do they bring it up with you?
I'd like to say we reduce risk. It's one of the things that as a platform, as a product, as a company, we help organizations do. I mean, I just want to say, first of all, that I reject the premise of this question, the fact that there's I mean, it mentions four questions. There's actually six questions here. I'm not entirely sure which one I should answer.
Well, it's the ways they bring up risk, like noticing it, naming it, who decides about it, can you act on it? I'm just being difficult, David. Oh, I know.
That's what you do, Rob. Yeah, I mean, open, clear communication is extremely important.
But risk conversations is different than having conversations about security.
