Stephen Covey’s “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” includes “Be proactive” and “Begin with the end in mind” Security is the balance between functionality and productivity. Security pros should work toward building secure systems, while making sure users can do their jobs effectively. “Sharpening the saw” is my favorite habit. It focuses on finding a balance between work and play. I think the most effective security people are those who have found that balance and realized that work is often the same.”]
