Modern Adversary's Rules For Lean, High-Speed Security Teams

These are my own rules for successful security teams. Take them as additions to the Coyote's Rules For Information Security Teams.

Rule 1: Move Fast. Keep It Simple.

Speed and Simplicity win. Build lightweight, repeatable processes. Detect fast. Respond faster.

Rule 2: Build Allies. Force Multiply.

You can’t do it alone. Partner across the org. Leverage every relationship. Make security everyone’s mission.

Rule 3: Adapt Relentlessly. Trust Your Team.

Empower bold decisions and fast action. Trust small teams to think, act, and own it. If it works, it works—improvise, iterate, win.
