Social Engineering Business Into Your Security

Presented at Notacon 8 (2011), April 16, 2011, 3 p.m. (60 minutes).

Funding security toys^Wproducts used to be easy. Getting

the business to understand why security costs keep changing is HARD.

Many of the real problems in information security are not about

technical prowess with packet dumps or disassemblers, they're about

the fact that most security people don't know a debit from a credit

and couldn't budget their way out of a wet paper bag. In this talk

the five of us will show how social engineering can be applied to get

your security program fully funded without resorting to FUD tactics

and screaming matches. We'll cover all this and more with a little

shouting, a lot of scolding, and some live demonstrations. (See what I

did there!)
