You already know (most) of what you need to know about cybersecurity!
by John Benninghoff | at Minnebar 19 | 1:05 – 1:45 in Harriet | View Schedule
You don't have to be Mr. Robot to be secure! While cybersecurity may seem mysterious and difficult, the most effective things you can do are like eating well and exercising: easy to understand, but sometimes hard to do. In the past 5 years, we've learned that much of the work needed to secure software-based systems are activities we already do, like regularly updating software and turning off services you don't need.
I'll review what data-driven research says about what matters most in cybersecurity, bust myths about what doesn't matter, and when you really do need to call in the experts. Whether you write code, build infrastructure, run a startup, or just manage your home network, I'll share practical advice on what you can do to be secure and what you should leave to others.
John Benninghoff
John Benninghoff's interest in cybersecurity began in 1985 when he read the book Out of the Inner Circle: A Hacker's Guide to Computer Security, and found a way to get paid to do it starting in 1998. He currently consults through his company, Security Differently.
John has also done work in exploratory data analysis and visualization, risk analysis and quantification, Site Reliability Engineering, and writing code in R. John holds a Masters Degree in Safety Science from Trinity College Dublin, where his research focus was on applying safety principles to technology. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking running, and camping.
