High Expectations: Our Systems Are Like (or Could Be Like) Airplanes

(K5)

Stream: Keynote
Time: 17:45 - 18:30


Keynote

The information technology industry and the aviation industry have many common characteristics: Both are about the same age, both have enjoyed explosive growth, both serve a mix of uses, both a complex combination of people, processes and technology, and both are essential to our way of life. Can we as information security practitioners learn from the aviation industry to help us better manage our environments?

This session reviews the risk management and defect elimination processes and procedures that are common within the aviation industry and which have helped it increase the safety and reliability of aviation and explores how we can adapt them to our environments.
