“You don’t always have to be right. Definitely not, but I think you have to be able to fight your corner when you need to,” Booth said. Developing cross-functional relationships and tackling each obstacle with foresight has helped Booth stay effective through each phase of transformation.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, conducted as part of CyberEdBoard‘s ongoing Profiles in Leadership series, Booth discussed:
- The role of resilience and adaptability in overcoming security challenges;
- Strategies for building diverse, effective cybersecurity teams;
- Key priorities for long-term security program success.
Booth is an experienced information security leader, working at the board level to define information security strategy and then manage teams to implement that strategy. He works with clients in a flexible and proactive way to meet stringent security requirements and adaptive needs, enabling businesses to work in a flexible way by reactively designing security processes and technical controls that support the business rather than inhibit it. He is a CyberEdBoard member.
