Episode 27 - Outpost Turns 5!

Written By Stuart McIntosh

Reflecting and riffing on 5 years of Outpost Security. We discuss some lessons learned, patterns detected, hopes projected, and more. There’s a little bit of something for everyone and we’re happy to be here making an every increasing impact on the security industry and RBA community. 

Notes

Brief history of Outpost 

  • Organizations are more alike than different 

    • 60+ environments 

    • Small teams, huge orgs 

    • All industries 

    • Episode – blocking and tackling, key data drivers 

  • Politics I left behind (at my F500) are still everywhere 

    • Leaders come and go, your odds of success are directly tied to your leadership (personal success, program success) 

    • “win fans and influence people” as nobodys/outsiders 

    • See it ton believe it – poc episode 

  • Technology has improved, but not our execution 

    • The questions that really matter to leveling up security are: 

    • What do we do (next) and how do we do it? 

    • NOT “What new technology do we need 

    • Automatic Security is our vision of security execution – the discipline of security
