Synopsis
Security is not always hard, but is not natural to how we normally do things. In our family’s search for a better way, we came across a man named Steve. Our first impressions of Steve were not of a security guru, but as we came to know him we found he “got” security better than most people. Steve dug deep and was able to build a sound security program from the ground up by cobbling up the resources he needed and crafting them into all the tools required. The lessons Steve passed on to us have been some of the most valuable in our quest for being more secure. In this talk we will share our journey with Steve and the things we learned along the way. From perimeter security to protecting the crown jewels, from physical security to online privacy, taking minimal resources and growing them into a vast storehouse, and beyond to lessons of life’s basic logic. By sharing Steve’s lessons of how to be secure maybe we can win this game and make ourselves, our families, and our organizations more secure.
