Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is extremely difficult to master since it goes against conventional thinking. It is procedural and it is technical. While in combat, chaos ensues although the fighters must stay laser focused. Just as one needs to apply the proper technique in BJJ, cybersecurity professionals must find ways to creatively apply their techniques in unconventional attack scenarios as well. It’s proven that implementing fundamental BJJ concepts and principles will help strengthen the core of your security strategy, tactics and overall mindset. The methodology also will help minimize the risk of an organizational tapout.

Security experts and highly skilled BJJ practitioners Jeremiah Grossman, Jeremiah Batac and Tyler Bohlmann join me to watch the main event at BarCode. As the highly anticipated Jiu-Jitsu match progresses, we discuss the parallels between security and BJJ including the importance of preparation, mind-preparedness, training, energy conservation, overcoming adversary, embracing the grind and keys to victory.
