How I teach Security

Presented at SOURCE Seattle 2016, Oct. 13, 2016, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

After spending over 10 years as a builder of software systems, and the next five years on the breaking side of things, I then spent over a decade teaching information security concepts to over 25,000 people around the world at leading global organizations.

Over the course of this work, I’ve noticed some interesting patterns, and I've learned that people can, in fact, be taught security in a way that they actually care about it.

In this talk, I'll teach some of my best tips and tricks for teaching security topics to the masses.
