BSides Glasgow 2018 - Vicky Walberg - Diversity In Infosec (Not That Sort!)

Abstract - A talk in 2 parts. In Part 1 I'll use the OSI 7 Layer Model as a talking point about the diversity of areas of work/research/areas of concern across the infosec spectrum. In Part 2, Rockstars vs Plumbers; I'll talk about the work that enterprise security people do across layers, how this relates to "rockstar" researchers, and security versus compliance. The aim of the talk is help bridge the gap between various infosec "tribes" and educate attendees on the breadth of topics and how they relate to one another. e.g. for those working at the application layer the issues at other areas of the stack; and why "plumber" work/doing the basics is still important work, how compliance activities can aide security; and why research work is important and helps day-to-day enterprise security admins.
