About
Dark Knight Security Consortium
Becoming Self-Reliant
Security Philosophy
Our security philosophy is anchored in continuous improvement, striving to be better than yesterday while maintaining a careful balance between complacency and paranoia.
We emphasize a deep understanding of security principles, aiming to be doctrinally sound without being rigidly bound by doctrine. Instead of measuring our success against others, we focus on becoming a hard target, enhancing our capabilities to deter threats effectively.
Recognizing the critical roles of detection and response, we ensure these systems are robust and purposeful. Our approach includes having a well-defined plan, which we adjust as necessary but adhere to diligently.
This philosophy extends to both strategic and tactical decision-making, allowing us to navigate the complex landscape of security with agility and informed confidence.
