By day Max Cizauskas is the manager of Threat Prevention at IGM Financial, implementing blue team policies and practices and advising on how projects can apply security across their cloud dev ops endeavours. By night Max focuses on helping people bridge the gap to get into information security. He shares his perspective on the most important practices that can be implemented across all practices through being a committee member of the Toronto Area Security Klatch (TASK) and the BSides Toronto annual conference, as well as the host of the infrequent in-security.org podcast. Max believes that there’s little to stop people from doing information security right beyond a passion for what you do and knowing what ways technology can be abused and accounting for those techniques when you rely on it to increase your efficiency.
