Not Even Close: The State of Computer Security - James Mickens

I’m going to describe why the security community has failed in the past, I’m going to describe why the security community is failing right now. I’m going to describe why the security community will fail in the future. There will be a symphony of failure, every song will be a sad one, children will be crying, old people will wish that they were dead, middle aged people will be killing the old people, nobody will survive, the only good news is that tonight is Thursday which means that it’s almost Friday, but Friday is going to suck too, it never gets better, as shown by this graph, life only gets worse, time is on the x-axis, worseness is on the y-axis, that line is going up and to the right ladies and gentleman. So, lets talk about computer security.
