Cybersecurity professionals may not typically choose a career path in teaching or learning the classics, but the founders of independent security consultancy Credible Security believe that diversity of backgrounds can be a superpower.
Co-founder Josh Yavor emphasizes the importance of leadership qualities such as empathy, effective communication, and building relationships based on trust in a security team. Along with Kim Burton and Jessica Walters, Yavor launched Credible Security in early 2025, focusing on underserved teams within organizations.
Diversity Leads to Stronger Security Mindset
The founding partners, who had diverse backgrounds in security and beyond, stress the value of different perspectives in building a strong security mindset. Their varied experiences have proven beneficial in problem-solving and decision-making.
Developing Strategy With a Trusted Partner
Credible Security aims to help businesses simplify their cloud strategies and align them with their core objectives. By focusing on building trust with end users and service providers, the company helps clients differentiate themselves in the market and maintain long-term relationships.
‘Layered Experiences’
One of Credible Security’s unique advantages is the team’s combined experience as both buyers and developers of security products. Their diverse backgrounds and internal perspectives allow them to provide valuable insights and solutions to their clients.
