\\u201cRisk has become \\u2026 something that everybody understands. Before, it was this fuzzy thing, \\u2018Security just got in the way,\\u2019 \\u2018Oh, here she comes again.\\u2019 I think you have to learn how to talk to people about security so that \\u2026 it\\u2019s business-enabling.\\u201d \\u2014 Kelly Johnstone

\\u201cIf you\\u2019re a business to make money, [financial risk is] what you need to be looking at as you talk about [all] risks.\\u201d \\u2014 Kelly Johnstone

"[At] the Chief Security Officer level, it\\u2019s about 90% white men over 60. \\u2026 We need more women. We need more people of color \\u2014 we need more everything. Because this is a field where you need to be a critical thinker and your background [plays a part in that].\\u201d \\u2014 Kelly Johnstone
