Here's how you can create and distribute engaging content as an entrepreneur.
When you’re crafting your brand story and content, think of your audience as the protagonist in the journey of your content. Your audience is the protagonist, their problem is the antagonist, your content is the guide throughout to the solution of their three act hero’s journey. Top of funnel content should act as prologue/exposition, addressing the challenge and providing an inciting event. Middle of funnel provides your audience with the know-how to complete their journey and incites. Lastly, bottom of funnel pushes them through the falling action to their conclusion and conquering of their challenge. Use your content to elevate your audience as a hero in their journey and centering their concerns in your storytelling.

Here's how you can navigate the rapid changes in new technology as a professional in Information Security.
Effectiveness in information security requires constant monitoring of evolving threats and breaches. This doesn't just mean monitoring the news for breaking stories about data exposures and lawsuits, because once the story breaks the time to act may have already passed. It's crucial to keep up on CISA updates, threat reports from major cybersecurity vendors, cyber threat resources (CSO Online, IEEE, Cyber Defense Library), and using these resources to measure up your security posture. Make sure you're consistently engaged with your CISO to ensure that these latest threats and vulnerabilities are addressed and patched.
