Dear infosec people,
You do a tough job in a complex, high-stress and fast-paced environment. I admire the cleverness of your technical capabilities and respect the challenges you face.
Having said that; PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE GDPR UNLESS YOU HAVE REALLY STUDIED DATA PROTECTION.
This is the text of a presentation I gave recently during Infosec18 week. By popular demand (i.e. more than three people asked), I’m re-posting it here for a wider audience. I also intend to record it as a downloadable audio file at some point when I have some free time (hahaha, what’s that???). I took out the specific case studies for the sake of brevity, but I will post those separately as Part 2.
Hello. I use privacy-friendly analytics (Matomo) to track visits to my website. Can I please set a cookie to enable this tracking? I’m afraid that various plugins and content I have on the site here also use cookies, so a ‘yes’ to cookies is a ‘yes’ to those too. Please have a look at my Privacy Info page for more info about these, and visit my advice page for tips on protecting your privacy online
