Information security is steeped in computer science. However, there are creative aspects to being an infosec pro that are often overlooked. The speaker draws from his experience as a gigging musician to demonstrate how art and science can converge and allow for more impactful interactions with those whose information assets we are trying to protect. Whether the viewer is a client-facing consultant or supporting an organization from within, the goal of this presentation is to provide specific examples of how at-risk engagements have been salvaged through a mixture of creative and critical thinking.
