Authors

The book is a project by Mark Hillick and William Bengtson.

Book Layout

The book is split into independent chapters, allowing readers the freedom to explore as they wish. Each chapter contains interviews with individuals from the security industry. Many are individual practitioners, some are leaders; some work in big tech, a few work in start-ups, while others are employed in government or more traditional industries, such as finance. Everyone has taken their own unique path into the security industry, with many inspirational stories.

Each chapter is designed as a standalone unit, offering insights and knowledge without relying heavily on linear progression, so you can dive in wherever your interest lies most.

It’s worth noting that recurring themes or concepts may be cross-referenced throughout the chapters, and at the end of the book, we have attempted the seemingly impossible task of summarizing key themes and observations.
