The Dog Was the Mastermind

Presented at CircleCityCon 10.0 (2023) Virtual, June 24, 2023, 1 p.m. (60 minutes).

It’s a mystery. Everything seemed to be going fine. We finally had enough budget and we actually had the right people. But then, for some seemingly unexplained reason, the project went off the rails. Sure, there were clues. People had their pet theories. Maybe we’re not ready for identity and access management or mature privileged management. Perhaps zero trust architectures are all smoke and mirrors. Some thought the hiring manager was clueless, or the CISO tone deaf. The trouble is, without solving the puzzle, we know we’re simply going to find ourselves in the same unexpected and unexplained situation. This session will present five mysteries and ask you, the Circle City Con audience, to find the villain. We’ll conclude with a framework for avoiding the crime of unsuccessful projects. Pull out your magnifying glass and get ready. You don’t need to have a name like Hercule Poirot or Benoit Blanc or Sherlock Holmes to get better at solving the mystery of cybersecurity failures. Here are the clues you can look out for. What is a firewall?
