TOPIC OVERVIEW

Cyber Security as a Wicked Problem

Speaker: Dave Clemente

Data breaches and hacking make headlines on a weekly basis, and Board members and bored teenagers agree that cyber security is growing in importance. But you knew that already.

The real question is; why is cyber security such a challenging issue? With all the attention and resources being devoted to making improvements, surely there must be an easier way. This talk will examine the characteristics that make cyber security so complex - or ‘wicked’ – and will offer some solutions, which you are invited to attempt to deflate.
