You'll Understand When You're Older

Presented at NolaCon 2018, May 18, 2018, 1:30 p.m. (Unknown duration)

Growing up, we've all had older wiser people in our lives bestow wisdom upon us. Whether it was a parent, grandparent, other relative, mentor, or some other person, they were able to use their experiences and use idioms passed down to them to potentially help you out with whatever situation you were in. These idioms sometimes work really well in the context of information security. Not only do they cover different social aspects of the infosec community, but in our day to day lives working away in the trenches or in the board rooms, so many of them can be reused from our childhood. We'll work through these and explore how the idioms you've heard a million times before, or maybe never knew about, can help us focus, learn, and succeed as professionals.
