People Behaving Badly and information securitys tie in
People Behaving Badly and information securitys tie in
Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to the Bay Area in California to record an information security video (thanks Intel and TechTarget!). Of course, I couldnt travel across the country and not see the sights of San Francisco. A most excellent highlight of the trip was for my son and I to meet television and social media celebrity, Stanley Roberts. My son is a huge fan of Stanleys, has learned a ton from him (me too!), and was over the moon-excited to be able to meet him in person.
I wanted to share with you Stanleys videos (a really good "best of" is below) and how his work relates to what we do for a living. Stanley catching people in the act of doing bad things intentionally, or perhaps through ignorance, is the very thing that drives the field of information security today. Its the essence of my previous blog post from today and my whole shtick about if we just addressed the basics of security (followed the core best practices and rules) we wouldnt experience the consequences.
Stanley, we need to figure out how to do something on "people behaving badly with computers"!
Check out Stanleys YouTube channel or, if youre in the Bay Area, KRON 4 News...I think youll enjoy it. If anything, beyond the laughs, youll see that crazy human behavior is across the board in all aspects of life, not just in IT and security.
