LISA 2008 LiveStream Presentation:

Topic:  Reconceptualizing Security

Speaker: Bruce Schneier, Chief Security Technology Officer, BT

Date:   *Monday, March 9th, 7 -- 9pm*, 2009

Brief:
Security is both a feeling and a reality. You can feel secure without
actually being secure and you can be secure even though you don't
feel secure. We tend to discount the feeling in favor of the reality, but
they're both important. The divergence between the two explains why
we have so much security theater, and why so many smart security
solutions go unimplemented. Several different fields behavioral
economics, the psychology of decision-making, evolutionary
biology shed light on how we perceive security, risk, and cost.
It's only when the feeling and the reality of security converge that
we have real security.

*Pizza Dinner will be provided at tonight's presentation.
