Many cyber security and IT professionals consider themselves introverts and find comfort in their relationship with their computer and the network(s) they are protecting. Although these professionals are very astute in protecting their organizations network environment, many struggle with adequately being heard by leadership as they present the threats and solutions required to keep the organization running safely and effectively. Just as technology is a science, cracking the code to the human mind is also a learned science. Although many feel they are not naturally inclined at connecting and communicating with others, the science can be learned to allow a professional to grow to higher levels of success as he learns and implements the skills required to connect with and persuade others. Cracking the Code will simplify the complex and unnerving skill set of persuasion so that all IT and Cyber Security professionals can not only hack technology, but also hack the human mind.
