Speaker: James ArlenTopic 2: Fifteen Years of FAIL?
Waking up with the sudden and shocking realization that I cannot escape the feeling that I have wasted a decade and a half of my life. I am an infosec professional [1] and I’ve been doing the best job that I can. Except nothing works right. Have I really wasted my time? Can I prove myself wrong?Through a mixture of news stories, teachable moments, hard-won experience and perhaps an interpretive dance [2] you will be taken on a journey of maturity and self-discovery – an examination and ultimately a determination on one information security professional’s career trying to make a difference.1. This is technically a cyber-finance and cyber-critical cyber-infrastructure talk, you can totally claim the CPEs for it. 2. Due to union regulations there shall be no interpretive dance.Meeting Location: 55 john Street, Toronto. Room: Rotunda
