Introduction to the Track, Reflections on a Decade of IATC

Presented at BSidesLV 2023, Aug. 8, 2023, 10:30 a.m. (45 minutes).

A decade ago, Josh and Nick brought passion and provocation: The Cavalry isn't coming… So what are YOU willing and able to do?? "Our dependence on connected technology is growing faster than our ability to secure it… in areas affecting public safety and human life." Using empathy, trust building, teamwork, and tenacity this crazy mission has profound impact on safety and public policy… and yet there is so much more to do! A decade later, the world is in a very different place. To adapt to the world ahead we need a fresh and sober assessment of what worked, what didn't, what is sustainable, and what is most missing. Longstanding Cavalry leadership will close a decade of public service and articulate a vision for the next decade and generation.
