Horror movies and making better cyber security board games

Presented at PancakesCon 3 (2022) Virtual, Jan. 16, 2022, 12:45 p.m. (45 minutes).

Non-technical audiences can’t tell apart real horror movie titles from the names of major vulnerabilities like SMBGhost, Meltdown, Heartbleed or PrintNightmare. Thus, we can gain insight info the current horrors of ransomware and other cyber attacks by first looking at PG-13 horror film posters. We will start with Nosferatu, a classic vampire flick from 1922, and end with a horror poster from 2022.

Target audience: intrigued by 100 years of horror movie history or in dire need of new cultural references to make at parties.

Speaking of parties – did you ever play a cyber security board game? Not the funny ones with a mix of cyberpunk, the serious ones! Where you are expected to learn something new about cyber security. I did. They are horrible. We will develop a concept for better cyber security board games by reflecting upon current cyber security management practice, in Germany. We will talk about ISO27001, three lines of defense and ransomware in health institutions.

Target audience: eager for a security analyst or risk compliance specialist position or in dire need of more board games to hoard.
