How to Patch Stupid - A modern approach to remediating user risk

Presented at CarolinaCon 13 (2017), May 21, 2017, 2 p.m. (60 minutes)

This talk is part of an open source project I'm heading up called The Human Security Assurance Maturity Model or HumanSAMM for short. This is the first in talks about methodologies designed to address the human problem. This first talk focuses on common mistakes made in deploying security awareness programs and tips on how to increase effectiveness and efficiency. These methodologies have been effective in the real world to drive user risk well below 1%
