3 Counterproductive Communication Patterns Holding Back Security Researchers
Summary
The post identifies three counterproductive communication patterns that hinder security vulnerability disclosures: misaligned urgency and impact, failing to tailor communication to the audience and process, and letting emotions undermine professional relationships. It argues for clearer evidence, audience-aware reporting, and professional, collaborative framing to foster transparency and more effective security collaborations. The author links these practices to communication theory and urges researchers and companies to pursue long-term partnerships for better security outcomes.
