Thinking About Security, Fast & Slow
DARK Reading, Monday, July 1st, 2024
To be effective, managing risk demands both fast responses and strategic thinking.
Psychology professor Daniel Kahneman recently passed away. His most famous book, Thinking Fast and Slow, discusses how we have two methods of thinking - one based on immediate reactions and instinct, and another that is slower, more logical and considered.
This book can encourage us to look at how we think through our tactics, operations, and strategic plans, and where we can improve them using psychology and human understanding. For example, how can we understand these modes of thinking and use them to achieve our strategic goals around managing risk?
