Seven ways to succeed in your first year as a network security officer
Choose a good company to work for. Before he interviewed for the job he researched it to be sure it was a good company to work for. Alstom values its employees and proves that with its actions. At the end of its last fiscal year, for instance, it gave every employee several shares of stock as a bonus. Get executive backing. “I interviewed with the CFO and asked him point-blank what their level of commitment was, what kind of budget and support I could expect,” Gilbert says. “I left knowing that senior executives knew they needed security and that I would have the level of support necessary to get the job done. Without that you are out of money, out of luck and probably on your way out.”
