5318 - Ignorance: What Does that Event Really Mean?

Tuesday, September 26
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

In the worlds of incident response and forensics, we live in the analysis of data. But are our conclusions following a scientific process or just a gut feeling? This talk will explore various cases where gut feeling wasn't the best way to analyze a security event and the consequences that came from an improper analysis. We'll also explore possible methods that put ego aside and look for the right answers. Critical thinking and scientific processes will be looked at in depth, as well as ways ways to show organizations that ignorance is not such a bad thing.
