Defense Against the Dark Arts for Muggles

By Thomas Rayner

Elevator Pitch

You don’t have to be a big name like Equifax or Capital One to be breached. Cyber crime is thriving, and the tools and systems you’re responsible for can either be used to protect you, or they can sink your whole organization and maybe even your career. Come learn how to protect yourself!

Description

Thomas Rayner is a Sr Security Service Engineer at Microsoft and a Certified Information Systems Security Professional. His team is responsible for maintaining the ultra-secure infrastructure of some of the most valuable information systems in the world. In this session, you’ll learn things you can take home and start doing right now for free, like how to think about security first - without obstructing your productivity - and skills you need to avoid having your company’s name showing up in the news for the wrong reasons.

Notes

The PowerShell community is blessed to have a bunch of terrific prominent information security pros. Without diminishing their skill and talent, I’m the right person to talk about this, because I live, eat, and breathe this content daily at Microsoft, and I believe I offer a unique perspective and delivery style that will make this a great session.
