Why Empathy And Collaboration Are The Keys To Cyber Success
Computerworld, Monday, July 21st, 2025
A 30-year veteran cybersecurity executive told me that success in IT depends on great technical skills, and an ability to build a network of collaborative colleagues and peers.
In the latest episode of First Person I spoke with Aaron Momin, a seasoned cybersecurity and cyber risk professional with over 30 years of experience in managing cyber and technology risk.
In a fascinating conversation Aaron told me how he studied computing at college after becoming obsessed with the technology through dismantling his first PC. But he believes the secret of his success is empathy. The ability to mentor and be mentored, and to communicate technical issues to non-technical people.
