What do you do if your communication isn't convincing others to prioritize Information Security?
Frankly, you have to look at yourself first. Are you pontificating about security, or are you showing how information security is a critical business imperative. A lot of security professionals don't really appreciate the importance of demonstrating business value and just assume every thinks security is important.

What do you do if your value and worth are questioned during an Information Security salary negotiation?
Frankly, while I value certifications, the fact is that you have to understand what the business finds valuable and not what a LinkedIn article says is valuable. You need to understand if you are really providing value back to the business in the way they want to see that value. Listen...dont be offended.
