It's Maps or Gaps All the Way Down

Presented at NolaCon 2022, May 20, 2022, 11 a.m. (Unknown duration)

<p>This interactive presentation opens with a review of some common problems with detecting security incidents -- false positives, false negatives, too much information, too little information, incorrect information, and so on.</p> <p>We&#39;ll consider these issues in the larger context of some important concepts -- &quot;&quot;the map is not the territory,&quot;&quot; (Alfred Korzybski) and the limitations of what Danny Kahneman refers to as System 1 and System 2 thinking.</p> <p>Lastly we&#39;ll look at some things that have been done to make detection engineering easier and consider what else can be done.</p>
