Technical Writers: Your Cybersecurity Secret Weapon

Technical writers are a fixture in software development, but you may not realize the business value technical writers add to Cybersecurity teams. In this presentation, a Cybersecurity technical writer shares the data and research that demonstrates the value across multiple dimensions: operational efficiency, cost optimization, team productivity and retention, improved security posture, and knowledge management.

With trust and reliability being cornerstones of Cybersecurity, it follows that communication and documentation are more than just basic requirements; professionally crafted and managed communication and documentation shared with external stakeholders provide an outward representation of your team’s reliability and professionalism. Similarly, professionally crafted internal communication and documentation, as well as professional document management, optimizes your team’s operations and provides cost savings. Development teams have long seen the value in technical writers as team members. Now learn how a technical writer can take your Information Security team to the next level – and provide value far behind what ChatGPT offers.

This presentation provides the data and research that demonstrates the real cost savings, enhanced productivity, and improved team and knowledge retention that a managed documentation program provides. As a Senior Technical Writer assigned to an Information Security team, the presenter will share not only the data and research that shows the benefits but also her experience building out the documentation plan for her team.
