Roughly 90% of the security meetings and consultations I have with customers are completely useless. All the questions have already been answered in provided documents and diagrams, and often also in follow-up responses. The meetings are pointless nearly all of the time.
And I have been in hundreds of those meetings, often with 30+ people on the other side1. Thirty-one people in a an hour-long meeting discussing already-provided information equals a whole lot of wasted time.
But that’s life in “efficient” corporate America!
