> 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.
