Doubt – Deceit – Deficiency and Decency – a Decade of
Disillusionment
Derbycon 2012
Waking up with the sudden and shocking realization that I cannot escape the
feeling that I have wasted a decade of my life. I am an infosec professional and
I’ve been doing the best job that I can. Except nothing works right. Have I
really wasted a decade? Can I prove myself wrong?
Through a mixture of news stories, teachable moments, hard-won experience and
perhaps an interpretive dance – you will be taken on a journey of maturity and
self-discovery — an examination and ultimately a determination on one
information security professional’s decade of trying to make a difference.
(NOTE: Due to union regulations there shall be no interpretive dance.) (NOTE 2:
This is technically a cyber-finance and cyber-critical cyber-infrastructure
talk, you can totally claim the CPEs for it.)
