Fortified Health Security's T.J. Ramsey on Screening For Team Dynamics over Certifications

Описание: T.J. Ramsey, Sr. Director of Threat Operations, built Fortified Health Security's threat operations by starting as a vulnerability analyst and rising up to master every service he now oversees. T.J. discusses why the transition from manager to director requires letting go of operational control, how he screens for personality traits over technical certifications, and why security in healthcare isn't just protecting data — it's also patient safety. He shares his framework for making rapid decisions under incomplete information, his approach to mentoring people based on their career goals, and why the best pentesters need to attend conferences not for education but to talk shop with peers.
