"Critical Controls - For Your Servers, For Your Soul"

Speaker: Brian Boettcher (@boettcherpwned)
Co-host of the Brakeing Down Security weekly podcast

In this talk, we'll discuss some ways that hackers take advantage of small cracks in our infrastructure and turn them into crevasses to steal our data. Then we'll take a look at some controls to help mitigate those effects. Similarly, and inspired by the C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, we'll talk about demons in our lives that seem to never stop trying to chip away at our good graces in order to take something much more valuable. And we'll investigate the controls that Christ teaches to mitigate those effects.
