Session
The InfoSec industry was born out of fear. But fear is hard to manage: too much fear breeds paralysis, and too little fear breeds complacency. We will explore this history, consider how it shaped the industry, and how it’s now in the way. Finally, we’ll consider what the new paradigm could be, and most importantly - how to enable a security-minded culture without using fear.
