Explore the intricacies of complex adversarial systems in security through this insightful conference talk. Delve into the limitations of approaching security as a series of isolated technical problems and discover the importance of recognizing patterns for effective large-scale security operations. Examine the broader structures of these patterns and their practical applications in security. Learn about resource conflicts, intuition, vulnerabilities, system components, trust, time, terrain, trenches, principles, information, adaptive capacity, rate limiting, and measurement. Gain valuable insights on how to think strategically about security challenges, moving beyond simple bug-fixing to develop a more comprehensive understanding of organizational security at scale. Enhance your ability to interact with human elements in security systems and improve your approach to threat modeling.
