Let's not play dice - what scuba diving and IT security have in common (mrmcd19)

There are certain situation in life where it is – mildly speaking – very brave to trust your luck. Scuba diving and hacking certainly are among these. In this talk you will realize that these two things actually have a lot in common. You approach both worlds in the same way. There are rules to the game. But in both worlds you will not just blindly follow the instructions. You need your common sense. There is planing before a dive known as the briefing, there is a design phase of your system and software. In both cases you consider your next moves on the board. Constantly thinking: What shall happen? What can go wrong? What is the backup plan? While you are on the way and the game is going, you do your monitoring. You check for patches, you check for uptime, you take a close look at your pressure gauge and your dive computer. A scuba diver understands the need for integrity, for availability and the concept of risk management. For this talk I would like to compare some of the analysis and checking that both worlds have in common and invite you to see why both games are fairly worth to be played. about this event: https://talks.mrmcd.net/2019/talk/HTV33M/
