You’re Not Alone With Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is something that a lot of cybersecurity professionals deal with, but isn’t talked about enough.

With that in mind, I set out on the show floor at Black Hat 2023 to find out when professionals have experienced imposter syndrome. Often its triggered by being dropped into an unfamiliar experience, or coming into surprising expectations. The feeling doesn’t go away. But it’s all part of being a life-long learner and getting “comfortable with the uncomfortable.”

Thanks to all those who participated!
