A security manager has to relate to the techies while getting buyin from senior management
It is a fine art. I used to think of the as sandal to tie protocol. My smartest technical people tended to wear Birkenstocks and the business unit managers were in suits and ties and to be effected, I had to relate to all of them. This lens is about that tricky balance. It will also help you understand what is offered in the course I write and teach SANS Security Leadership Essentials:

Useful Security Blogs
Just in case you need something to read
- Anton Chuvakin
- Anton is becoming the spokesperson for logs and log analysis for our industry. I believe over the next five years we will be doing intrusion detection with logs the same way we did with network IDS a few years back. Sometimes a bit terse, if he makes you made, forgive him :)
- OSSEC Blog
- If you can believe that detection is really important these days, then you probably should be following the OSSEC Host Based Intrusion Detection folks.
