InfoSec has become a giant, marketing driven, bandwagon affair. However all is not lost, this talk will focus on 10 lessons that can be applied to your job (no matter what it is as long as its InfoSec related) that will help you do it better, stronger, faster etc…Providing information on topics such as: why does no one ever give me the funding I want and how do I get it? How can I do a useful penetration test? How do I build an effective security program that makes my job security 2+ years? And How do bad guys really think and how do I do that? Drawing on personal experience and other sources this talk will provide concrete things you can actually do to keep the organisations we work for secure, not lose our minds, and hopefully navigate the crazy.

SPEAKER BIO:

Mark Stamford is the founder and CEO of OccamSec, where he works with a fantastic team of security professionals helping protect some of the largest, and smallest, organisations on the planet. Originally beginning his interest in security after watching war-games and deciding that “breaking into computers looks fun” he then proceeded to hack things from the age of 11. Before getting a proper job, which then exposed him to some of the earliest days of corporate espionage. He then worked for a big 4 consulting firm as a senior pen tester, then onto a large bank where he built and ran the threat and vulnerability management program, and finally he started company.
