| The Four Horseman of Risk Management | Nathan Sweaney | 1 Hour
In the last few decades, the scientific community has discovered serious issues with the inability to reproduce studies in the social sciences. Several issues, described as the “four horsemen of irreproducibility,” threaten to destroy the authority and authenticity of the scientific method. This has disastrous consequences for society at a time when distrust for science and authority are at an all-time high. Within the infosec industry, similar issues plague the acceptance and understanding of risk management. Conflicting opinions, flawed examples, and bad assumptions are rife within training materials, vendor FUD, and social media. Even authoritative sources are misused and abused to defend arguments that are more religious than not. Business executives responsible for making risk decisions are left without any practical way to choose between differing opinions In this talk, we’ll outline four factors that threaten our industry’s ability to accurately, and reproducibly, assess risk. We’ll also explore how those issues are abused by key players in the industry and what we can do about it. Attendees will leave the presentation with specific ideas on how to recognize and avoid these fatal flaws in their efforts to assess and manage risk. Speaker Bio: Nathan Sweaney works for Secure Ideas testing pens and consulting clients. He's been in the infosec industry for quite a while working with a wide range of clients and technologies. He's regularly told that he takes all of the fun out of things and is eager to argue about politics and religion. Nathan has a considerable amount of experience with point-of-sale environments and managing compliance regulations such as PCI. He excels at finding practical and operationally feasible approaches for businesses to mitigate threats and minimize compliance obligations. Hailing from the great state of Oklahoma, he hopes you'll all keep flying over it & leave us Join the WWHF Discord Community to participate in discussion with the presenter and attendees: https://discord.gg/wwhf | 9/8/2021 | 13:00 EDT | 1 hour | Register |
