The technology industry is full of commonly-held beliefs that, if followed, should make systems and users safe; however, this isn't always the case. For example: "A strong password will secure your account" is not true if the server is compromised and your data is stolen. In this presentation, we'll discuss how some "best practices" don't actually help security and what really does.

Joshua Meyer has had a passion for technology since an early age. Growing up in a small town in Maryland, Josh spent a lot of his time learning about different computing concepts. Josh graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a bachelor's degree in computer science and likes to remark that he studied how to write code, but spends his days breaking software. Josh is a Security Analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, a firm of security specialists that provide a wide range of services including custom security assessments and software development.
