Summary

I’d like to conclude this book by acknowledging you, the reader. I know you because I’m one of you. I’m writing this summary after a long day of work, slogging through the cybersecurity industry.

As it becomes harder to find people willing to put up with long hours, as culture shifts, such as the pivot to remote working, and other benefits become more important to the rising generations, I believe leaders in our industry will embrace quality of work over quantity; they’ll embrace working smarter, not harder. Systems will be built with minimizing technical debt in mind...
