Problem

Scenario

You’ve identified a security improvement that would materially reduce risk, but it requires time, budget, or process changes from teams that have other priorities. You need to build support for the work without relying only on authority or policy.

Question

Give an example of how you advocated for a security initiative in a previous role. How did you build stakeholder buy-in, address resistance, manage delivery risk, and show that the initiative was worth doing?
