The study of disease patterns, epidemiology, can be a useful way to think about information security. The different methods that diseases use to spread through human populations can often mirror exploits and vulnerabilities in technology. In this presentation, I will perform comparative analysis of diseases and security issues to identify similarities and effective countermeasures. This talk aims to be informative and educational to all experience levels in security and the lessons learned can be applied to more clearly communicate security concepts to less technical individuals.
