When should a startup really invest in information security? What is the blueprint they should follow to successfully build a thriving security team? One that actually protects and boosts the business instead of slowing it down with dubious, senseless practices? In this book we will follow the journey of the first security engineer, Alex, hired by a scale up to design and implement its first security practices. You and I will dive into Alex's mind and embody their intellectual experience, from the first encounter with the company during the interview process all the way to their first months on the job. We will follow their day-to-day interactions with other teams. Their communication struggle. The difficult but oh so important exercise of prioritizing vulnerabilities, the hard limits of technology and most importantly the phenomenal clash between common security wisdom and the hard reality of the field. Buckle up. The gloves are off, and I am not holding back any punches. I am here to destroy many myths that keep popping up in the security field which, counterintuitively, do more harm than good. Pragmatism and First principles are the de facto standards of this book. Hopefully, it will resonate with as many readers as possible.
