The security organization is stuck with a "hardened security" mentality versus a "soft security" model. This leads to security strategies that rely on obscurity rather than a strategy that assumes the eventuality of being compromised and having correct tools to recover and isolate a breach. Examples include rolling keys, temporal tokens, and short-lived infrastructure via PaaS automation.

Listen to people who are working on a project.

Effective leaders surround themselves with people more knowledgeable than themselves.
