CAST OF CHARACTERS

When he took the role of CISO, Ed knew that he would be challenged day in and day out. Cybersecurity has become a whole new ball-game with his current team and he sometimes wonders just how much longer he has before Owen gets phished, Kayla forgets a critical patch, or Donnie down-loads malware.

Janet is the Big Boss, the CIO. She has perfected the art of busy-ness. With all the various areas under her purview, she is often seen moving from one meeting to the other. Her brain works a mile-a-minute and her words flow faster. She has a tight grip on ev-erything, especially CISO Ed’s infosec team.

Who needs a threat intel feed when you have Tara? She knows every CVE and the devices most susceptible to them. Not only is she a smart cookie, but she doesn’t mind flaunting it. Her smartass at-titude gets giggles from Owen throughout the day, but doesn’t always fly with CISO Ed, especially when there’s a code red.

The Tide pod challenge exists for people like Owen. A normal day involves him losing his pen multi-ple times, only to realize that it is behind his ear. Owen was brought onto the team for his extensive experience finding worms. By the time Ed realized that he had been referring to earthworms in his interview, it was too late.

EVERYONE BRINGS JOY TO THIS OFFICE.

SOME WHEN THEY ENTER. OTHERS WHEN THEY LEAVE.

THE CLOSEST A PERSON EVER COMES TO PERFECTION

IS WHEN THEY FILL OUT THEIR JOB APPLICATION FORM.”

PASSWORDS ARE LIKE UNDERWEAR: MAKE THEM

PERSONAL, EXOTIC, AND CHANGE THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.

In every group project, there’s the team member that floats by with-out doing anything. That’s Kayla. She’s got a great smile, but has never really understood the con-cept of work. Lucky for her, every-one else is too consumed with their own tasks to notice.

Cybersecurity professionals are some of the smartest people on the planet. However, there are some exceptions. Donnie might not be the brightest, but he’s got a knack for creative ideas that work (sometimes).

Jasper is a cybersecurity consul-tant. His cocky attitude and hubris can rub people the wrong way, es-pecially when he describes him-self as “an individual who does precise guess-work based on un-reliable data.” But does Jasper care? Oh no! He continues to come up with “ground-breaking” solutions. That it’s your job to find the problems they will solve, is beside the point.

Close your eyes and think of the most annoying marketer you have ever worked with. Now imagine them with long brown hair, a perky demeanor, and a know-it-all attitude. That’s Jessica. She is supposed to inform CISO Ed’s team well in advance of the marketing department launching a new product or spinning up a website page, but does she do it? About 0.7% of the time.

SOMETIME THE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS THAT

THE CHAIR SWIVELS.

I’VE GOT 99 PASSWORDS BUT 123456 AIN’T ONE OF THEM. I ADDED A $ SOMEWHERE TOO.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED, TRY DOING WHAT

YOUR CONSULTANT TOLD YOU TO DO THE FIRST TIME.

ONE OF US IS WRONG. AND THE OTHER ONE IS ME.
