Hackers on a plane: what we can learn from the aviation industry
Sarah Young

"Ever watched Air Crash Investigation? You may not be an aviation nerd, but there are so many fascinating parallels between security and the aviation industry: the layering of safety controls, making sure there are different types of security controls in place, the improvements made after bad things happened, etc. In this talk I'll discuss some of some notable examples in both the aviation and security industry and what we can learn and take away from that as security professionals.
Note: You don't have to be an aviation geek to enjoy this talk, promise!"
