Cultural Learning Of China To Make Benefit Glorious Profession Of Infosec

Presented at DeepSec 2013 „Secrets, Failures, and Visions“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

The current debate about the role of China as a nation, in international hacking incidents and corporate espionage is framed in an almost exclusively US-centric narrative. China, however, is a nation that has been familiar with innovation, economics and societal (im)balances long before Christopher Columbus accidentally landed in the New World. I will take the audience on a rollercoaster ride across more than 5000 years of history and cultural heritage that will allow us to not only understand the reality of APT and state-sponsored hacking - More than that, it should enable us to assess the threat and improve our protection.
