CAVEAT: Although this conversation was very specific to cyber security, it applies more broadly, so any organisation that may be experiencing toxic behaviours - or is tolerating a 'brilliant jerk' - can benefit from Jinan's fantastic insights.

"I knew from experience that we have a busted culture. You can hire as many people as you like, they are going to get into the security teams and experience the hideous toxicity and the way that we exclude people and the way that we can often be quite bullying towards one another."Jinan Budge
