There’s a propensity for tech people to be introverts and keep things to themselves. And so I think there’s a real onus on us, not just from a risk perspective, but from a helping people thrive perspective to figure out how we pull that out of people, and particularly in cyber, where I think the pressure is different in those roles compared to some of the other roles in the organization.
