Hackers and business decision makers rarely see eye-to-eye. There has historically been a great chasm separating the views of business decision makers who pay the bills and the in-the-trenches security practitioners who perform the work. This epic battle has taken a toll on the security of many environments as businesses focus on operations and "hackers" focus on the symptomatic issues directly in front of them. This talk serves to open the dialogue between both groups in an attempt to find some common ground and understanding. Beginning with raising the "hackers" awareness to business concerns and how business guides the path to security, we hope to bring a fresh perspective on how to position their concerns. This alone may build a bridge and allow them to receive the support they have always craved. After we address this daunting task, we will turn light to the business aspect. In this section, we will give the business professionals a unique view into the mind of a security professional. Yes, the ones who throw a fit because a screen shot of some black and green screen with text on it is "bad". We will give you a behind the scene connection explaining why they are reacting the way they are and how having that emotion is a massive benefit to the business (and not just a cost). At the end of the day, the business and the hacker have the same goals; we all want to secure the business. We may have different drivers and motivators but a common goal exists. We will extend the olive branch to both sides and hope that this talk will inspire others to do the same.
