Things are broken and they dance around. Which things and how broken they are in security? We've been fixing cyber for years, but there are more and more issues, more ways to break things. Come to this interactive session and share what frustrates you the most about security.


Security-minded people have been raising awareness, setting up processes, creating standards and protocols, finding, fixing and exploiting vulnerabilities for years, cybersecurity industry has hundreds of vendors solving all kinds of security problems, and yet there are more risks uncovered and more breaches happening.
This session will be a safe space to talk about annoying issues not fixed in security, pick what you think is wrong with cybersecurity and tell us. We'll start with our most painful cybersecurity griefs, and we want audience to participate in this collective rant, and let it all out. Let's see what the attendees think in the end of the rant - are we all doomed, or is there light at the end of the tunnel.

Marina Bochenkova wears many hats as a cybersecurity analyst focusing on digital forensics, incident response, and OT security, while also dabbling in security awareness and culture. She combines a passion for protecting people, a strong belief in digital privacy as a human right, and an overly-enthusiastic approach to problem-solving. When not defending digital spaces, Marina actively nurtures her already-unhealthy obsession with cats and resorts to baking or martial arts when desperate.
