Understanding common security tools and concepts

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

The goal of the presentation is to focus on "raising the bar" for everyone around concepts and tools that are standard within the information security field. I want to ensure that even less technical security teams and business teams understand what is being referred to when IT or Security mentions they are using these tools and what the key benefits and limitations are. By broadening the understanding of these, I think it helps us all work together to develop even stronger security solutions and identify solutions which don't inhibit necessary functions. We all use firewalls, VPNs, antimalware solutions, WiFi, cloud services, and IoT devices as a part of our everyday lives, either knowing about them or not. There is a lot of misleading information out there on what will keep you safe, and instead of busting myths, I want to educate people on the strengths and limitations of these solutions so they know what to look for and how to gauge the level of protection they may need or get, based on their own risks.
