The Infosec Theory of Everything is my attempt to describe the key issues we face with being a defender in the current cyber security climate, and whether, by unifying our data sources and rationalising our thoughts into a single model, we’re better equipped to resist the onslaught. In my opinion, this challenge is largely about reconciling both quantitative and qualitative data, irrespective of source, and being able to understand how each element works as well as how those elements interact with each other. This unification is what I see as the primary goal of the InfoSec Theory of Everything. My talk discusses the concept of applying models from physics and mathematics, what this would look like, the issues it would address and whether it’s even worth trying.
