OMG ZOMBIES!!! Did that get your attention? I’m a big fan of preparing for the “zombie apocalypse” but not so much a fan of zombie movies. I am, however a huge fan of Zombieland. In the movie, the protagonists come up with 32 solid rules for survival in the zombie apocalypse. In this presentation, we’ll take a tongue in cheek approach to how we can apply the 32 Zombieland rules to practical IT security techniques. Brains will not be served at this presentation.
