Security Scotomas
It it a young lady or an old woman? Is it both?
The potential for information security to enable business often gets lost on our own scotomas. We get so locked into our world of information protection that we fail to see alternatives and opportunities. The inability to see more than one option is the experience scotoma we all suffer from time to time and for some, more often than not. We only see the “old lady” and therefore that is all we can act upon. In order to see options and alternatives, we have to break our scotomas and communicate in a way that breaks the experience scotomas of others.
Only by breaking down the psychological barriers that prevent us from seeing the whole picture will we be able to apply business-focused security solutions. That is where the business-value of security comes in. Don’t just see the young lady. Don’t just see the old lady. See both.

Thank Jim. I only hope to spread the message about securing information and it doesn’t have to be an obstruction to business. I appreciate you taking the time to read. – Paul
