Pascal C. Kocher — CEO

Protection is a duty, not a service line. That conviction has driven 30 years of asking one question: are the people responsible for protecting organisations actually doing it? The answer, uncomfortably often, is no -- not because they are incompetent, but because the model they operate in was never designed for the threats it faces today. I founded DEFCON Switzerland because defence is a collective responsibility, not a competitive advantage. I held CISSP for 15 years and gave it back -- because credentials have become a substitute for competence, and I would rather be judged by the work. The industry trained its customers to accept defaults that favour the provider: vague SLAs, opaque metrics, the silence where accountability should be. Defaults are choices made by someone else. They can be changed. Follow for honest analysis of security operations, managed security, and the industry shifts that security leaders should be watching now.
