Cybersecurity professionals are paranoid by nature. That’s not a bad thing, it’s a job requirement. We want our cybersecurity team to “think like the enemy” to discover and remediate vulnerabilities as rapidly as they possibly can.
Aside from this cynicism, my cybersecurity friends also take great pride in what they do. Like Elliot Alderson from the TV series “Mr. Robot,” many cybersecurity professionals want to save the world (from hackers and the like).
