We Take Your Security Seriously. Or Do We?

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the lengths some organisations go to, in order to protect personal data, as opposed to those that say they do, once the personal data they were responsible for has been flooded onto the Web. It's a tale of breach after breach after breach, laced with some hope that certain firms are at least trying to do the right things. We all make mistakes, but we should at least give it our best shot at avoiding doing so. Speaker Bio: Mike Thompson and Ian Thornton-Trump, doing a Beer Farmers Gig. Ian is a seasoned InfoSec campaigner, who's delivered many commentaries and talks over recent years, to a great reception. Mike is a relative newcomer to the community, but has a passion and enthusiasm to help educate and improve the security of the citizens of the web. Both are members of The Beer Farmers; a parody project, who's aim in life is to help the InfoSec community take itself less seriously, bring some fun, while at the same time help us focus on the important things in what we do.
